THE DOG NAMED BEAR DIED BACK IN SEPTEMBER, BUT THE SEARCH WARRANT WAS JUST MADE PUBLIC. ACCORDING TO THAT WARRANT, BOONE COUNTY SERGEANT DALLAS WINGATE CALLED THE SHERIFF THE NIGHT OF SEPTEMBER 2ND. WINGATE SAID HE PUT BEAR IN HIS DEPARTMENT TRUCK THE NIGHT BEFORE AND DISCOVERED THE DOG STILL THERE. DEAD ABOUT 22 HOURS LATER. WINGATE RESIGNED AFTER BEAR’S DEATH. THE OHIO DIVISION OF CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION HAD JUST TOLD KCCI THE INVESTIGATE IS NOW COMPLETE AND THE STORY COUNTY ATTORNEY WILL DECIDE WHETHER CHARGES SHOULD BE FILED.
