LYNCHBURG – A Lynchburg volunteer firefighter faces two charges after allegedly shooting a neighbor’s dog.
According to Lynchburg Police Chief Brandon Wooton, Nolan J. Hall was charged with discharging a firearm within a municipality and with injuring an animal. Hall serves as a Lynchburg volunteer firefighter, Wooton told The Highland County Press.
Kenneth and Ruth Louderback said they started searching for their 11-year-old toy fox terrier, Willie, on the morning of Sept. 9, after Mr. Louderback let the pet go outside.
“It was around 10 o’clock in the morning and I let Willie out like I always do,” Mr. Louderback said.
“He’s a house dog and wherever I go, he goes. But this morning we had a visitor and I guess I lost track of Willie. When my wife came home, she asked: ‘Where’s Willie?’ and we started searching for him right away.”
The Louderbacks said people in the community made comments that led them to believe Hall may have been involved in the animal’s disappearance.
Hall entered a plea of not guilty on both charges and was granted a continuance in the Lynchburg Mayor’s Court on Oct. 6. His next court appearance is set for Nov. 3 in the same court.[[In-content Ad]]
