Deputy John Tolle of the Nye County Sheriff's Office in Pahrump NV (just outside of Las Vegas) shot resident Gary Miller's dog after responding to a false panic alarm.

Deputy John Tolle initially claimed the dog, named Blu, was barking and growling while in the process of attacking him. However, the body cam shows otherwise. While the dog was running toward him, it was not barking or growling at the time he shot, nor was it close enough to attack him.

In addition, local news media has reported on numerous policy violations by Deputy Tolle. This included entering the yard in the first place without trying to contact the homeowner or checking for a dog within the yard. He also failed to attempt alternative methods to repel the dog, such as mace or a taser, which he had at his disposal.

Even more disturbing is that Deputy Tolle can be heard on the body camera footage laughing and stating "Maybe I'll get time off now!" Other deputies, as well as Tolle can also be heard making disparaging remarks about the dog's owner and pet owners in general, as well as sarcastically asking if Tolle had "investigated himself" at one point.
