Dog found starved, abandoned and shot twice in Armstrong County
After a dog was found starved, abandoned and shot twice in the head, Armstrong County humane officers are asking for help figuring out who's responsible. Around 8:45 p.m. on Sunday, humane officers said a man spotted the dog, named Rico, walking on a dirt road in Troy Hill in Kittanning. He noticed the dog was very skinny, so he gave him some food. But since he had his own dogs with him, investigators said he went home and called his niece. Then, between 8:45 p.m. and 9:15 p.m., officers said someone stopped and shot Rico twice in the head before leaving the scene. When the woman and her husband arrived, humane officers said they found the dog whimpering, injured and lying on the side of the road. The couple called police, who contacted humane officer Susan Clark with Humane Animal Allies. She took Rico to an emergency vet hospital in Monroeville, where an exam showed his injuries were so severe he had to be euthanized. A forensic veterinarian performed a necropsy on Rico, which showed he suffered from starvation before being shot twice in the head. Humane Animal Allies thanked Clark, an unpaid volunteer, for getting Rico to the hospital. They said after leaving the vet at 11 p.m., she went directly to her job as a firefighter and EMT, working the midnight to 8 a.m. shift. Investigators are now asking anyone with information about Rico to call Clark at 724-316-7691 or email her at armstrongposclark@

Maine police officer arrested by ICE agrees to voluntarily leave the country
Immigration Police Officer Arrest OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Maine (AP) — A Maine police officer arrested by immigration authorities has agreed to voluntarily leave the country, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday. ICE arrested Old Orchard Beach Police Department reserve Officer Jon Luke Evans, of Jamaica, on July 25, as part of the agency's effort to step up immigration enforcement. Officials with the town and police department have said federal authorities previously told them Evans was legally authorized to work in the U.S. An ICE representative reached by telephone told The Associated Press on Monday that a judge has granted voluntary departure for Evans and that he could leave as soon as that day. The representative did not provide other details about Evans' case. Evans' arrest touched off a dispute between Old Orchard Beach officials and ICE. Police Chief Elise Chard has said the department was notified by federal officials that Evans was legally permitted to work in the country, and that the town submitted information via the Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify program prior to Evans' employment. Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin then accused the town of 'reckless reliance' on the department's E-Verify program. E-Verify is an online system that allows employers to check if potential employees can work legally in the U.S. Officials with Old Orchard Beach did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ICE's detainee lookup website said Monday that Evans was being held at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island. However, a representative for Wyatt said Evans had been transferred to an ICE facility in Burlington, Massachusetts. ICE officials did not respond to requests for comment on the discrepancy. It was unclear if Evans was represented by an attorney, and a message left for him at the detention facility was not returned. ICE officials said in July that Evans overstayed his visa and unlawfully attempted to purchase a firearm. WMTW-TV reported Monday that Evans' agreement to a voluntary departure means he will be allowed to leave the U.S. at his own expense to avoid being deported.
