There are no court records available for this incident. Official case summary is below. "(redacted) and (redacted) reported observing a dog attacking a deer along Sawmill Creek Road between Whale park and the industrial park. The dog was seen chasing the deer, grabbing it by the throat, and causing it to fall down a cliff face along Sawmill Creek Road. I dispatched the severely wounded and incapacitated deer upon arrival. It was a very small male yearling, approximately 35 pounds in weight. The dog had remained on scene and was identified by both witnesses. While trying to identify the spitz-type dog by its collar tag, it pulled away, leaving the collar. When I examined the carcass I located a bite mark pattern on the deer's neck that corroborated the witness statements about the dog's actions during the attack. The injuries were documented and the portion of hide with bite marks was cut from the carcass and submitted to evidence. The dog, "Gravy" was found to belong to Nick (redacted). The collar tag bore the inscription "Probably Not Lost", indicating it is likely running at large often. When I contacted (redacted) at his residence later that afternoon, he stated his dog sometime runs loose and claimed his children had released the animal earlier that day. (redacted) seemed dismissive when I advised him the dog had killed a deer and stated he didn't think his dog would go after a deer. I issued him a strict liability citation for Unlawful methods: Take Big Game With Dog, and warned for taking big game closed season. Using google earth, I determined that the straight-line distance from (redacted) residence to the location where his dog attacked the deer is approximately 2.5 miles. The carcass of the deer was not suitable for human consumption and was donated to the Alaska Raptor center. On 3-25-24 (redacted) provided his pictures of the dog and deer. The pictures show the dog harrassing the deer, which is injured and laying on the cliff face, before it fell down beside the roadway. End of report"
