William is being charged with third degree burglary and fifth degree criminal possession of stolen property. All for simply walking into an unlocked building and retrieving his service animal and best friend. Rainy had gotten lose from while he was out grabbing groceries. He wasnt even gone a full hour before he got home and realized she was missing. When he was told by a neighbor that dog control had came and taken her, (despite her collar & tags) he called the Jefferson County Dog Control but no one answered so he went to the pound himself.

I understand the love u have 4 ur animal bc I love mine so much believe it or not I did the same thing about 15 yrs ago. They should not do anyone like this when the dog is tagged & has their shots up 2 date. They need each other & some ppl just dont believe n it.
I’m here should be no charges against this man. It’s not like he broke in or did any damage. He has now lost his precious pet. This is ridiculous to continue with these charges especially when the dog shelter is no longer pursuing it.
He didn’t break into the pound cause a door was unlocked, if anything he was trespassing. He took something that was already his so he didn’t steal anything and it was many years ago so just let it go.
I’ve known bill since the 4th grade and his love for animals is stronger than anyone I’ve ever met. He did what any parent or owner of a pet would have done.
William is my grandson Rainy was his service dog abs companion that we all loved . William has always been thoughtful and respectful to me and anyone that came in contact with him.
Thank you for loving your pet
Do you have people out here they don’t take care of their animals but you have this person here that loves his animal and takes care of his animal and you do this to them.

This paper is whack for posting this. They have already changed the info on it multiple times and are STILL incorrect. Little research and little care clearly go into their production, and lazy staff are leading to misrepresentation for a few measly clicks. THEY WROTE IT HAPPENED THIS MONTH THE FIRST TIME POSTED AND NOT THREE YEARS AGO, DO RESEARCH!!!
