New Hanover DA declines to prosecute Pitt County deputy for death of K-9 Chilli

A Pitt County Sheriff’s Office deputy will not face charges in the death of an explosives-detection dog he left in a patrol car on June 11, a special prosecutor announced Nov. 2. New Hanover District Attorney Jason W. Smith concluded that insufficient evidence exists to pursue criminal prosecution after reviewing an examination of the death conducted by the State Bureau of Investigation. The announcement also identified the deputy involved in the death as Grant Foster. The sheriff’s office did not respond to requests to identify Foster. It also did not release information about the incident until more than a month after it happened. Smith’s office was asked to review the case and requested an SBI probe after a public uproar. “While the death of K-9 Chilli was tragic,” Smith wrote, “there is not sufficient evidence to pursue criminal prosecution in this matter.” According to the findings, the incident occurred on a hot day with temperatures above 90 degrees.

Today is Tuesday, Nov. 10, the 314th day of 2026. There are 51 days left in the year. Today in history: On Nov. 10, 1898, a mob of up to 2,000 white supremacists killed dozens of African Americans in Wilmington, North Carolina, burned Black-owned businesses and forced the mayor, police chief and aldermen to resign at gunpoint before installing their own mayor and city council in what became known as the “Wilmington Coup.” Also on this date: In 1775, the Continental Congress established the Continental Marines, later known as the U.S. Marine Corps. In 1954, the U.S. Marine Corps Memorial, depicting the raising of the American flag on Iwo Jima in 1945, was dedicated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in Arlington, Virginia. In 1969, the children’s educational program “Sesame Street” made its debut on National Educational Television (now PBS). In 1975, the Great Lakes freighter SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in a severe storm in Lake Superior, claiming the lives of all 29 crewmembers. In 1982, Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, who had succeeded Nikita Khrushchev in 1964, died in Moscow at age 75; his death ushered in several years of leadership change before Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in 1985.
