Payton & Chase

July 29, 2008 — These two Labrador retrievers, were killed by Prince George’s County Police officers who broke into a house to seize of a package of marijuana the sheriff’s had just delivered to the home. The package had been addressed to the wife of Cheye Calvo, Mayor of Berwyn Heights. The police knew of a method of delivery of marijuana in which smugglers addressed packages full of marijuana to a random home, then “steal” the package they had arranged to be delivered. They assumed this was the case without a proper investigation, and broke into the house and killed the two dogs.
