TX Process Servers Comment on Accusations Against Sheriff

Ruben Dominguez made strong accusations against the Ector County Sheriff's Office Friday as he was still questioning whether a deputy was in his right to come inside his yard, knock on his door and then shoot his rottweiler after she started chasing the deputy through his yard.

"He (deputy Bobby Hodges) saw the dog, the dog didn't seem like a threat, he decided to get down (out of his car and in the yard)," Dominguez said. "He decided he wanted to kill that dog."

Meanwhile, Sheriff Mark Donaldson gave more details to how the Monday morning shooting unfolded as he stood by deputy Hodges' actions.

Donaldson contended the gates to Dominguez's fence was left open that day, meaning anyone including the deputy had a right to approach his front door. He further said Hodges never actually had the man's phone number before the shooting, contradicting Dominguez's claim.
