Police in Hemet arrest Vista jail deputy accused of taking neighbor's dog By Kristina Davis UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER October 26, 2008 A San Diego County corrections deputy is facing criminal charges after allegedly putting her neighbor's yappy Maltese in the trunk of her car and abandoning it about 20 miles from her Hemet home, authorities said. Diane M. Brown, 42, was booked into a Riverside County jail Thursday and released on $5,000 bond. A court date has been set for Nov. 20. Brown works as a corrections deputy at the Vista jail, sheriff's officials confirmed yesterday. Brown's frustration with her neighbor's fluffy white dog, named Spike, began more than a year ago when she claimed the dog's barking was a nuisance, said Riverside County Animal Services spokesman John Welsh. Brown took the dog's owner to court, but the judge threw out the case. On Monday, it appears Brown took matters into her own hands. Employees at the Cherry Valley Water District in Beaumont said they saw a woman take a dog out her trunk and dump it in front of the building, Welsh said. The woman returned about a minute later, apparently to remove the dog's collar. Two surveillance cameras captured the incident, and one witness copied down the woman's license plate. The witnesses brought the unharmed dog to a veterinarian, who scanned the dog's microchip and called its owner. Hemet police later booked Brown into jail on suspicion of being in possession of stolen property. Animal Services officials also are pursuing a misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty for abandoning the dog, which is valued at $2,000, Welsh said.

Terms of Use By Dave1000 on 10/26/2008 at 5:43 a.m. Dang.... she was not thinking clear she was too occupied with getting rid of that little chunk of deep sea fishing bait. The judge was wrong throwing the case out. Little or big dogs that bark at anything all the time suck and the owners more. Get several helium balloons and send little Spike aloft and far, far away with the winds.

By Horse.Sense on 10/26/2008 at 3:45 p.m. My sympathy to Diane Brown for having to resort to extraordinary measures to stop a barking dog. Irresponsible dog owners allow bad dog behavior at the expense of the neighborhood's peace and quiet. There is nothing more disturbing than a yappy, incessantly barking dog. Mediation my A**. Wake up the irresponsible dog owner ten times a night and see how they like it! By xdreevesx on 10/26/2008 at 5:02 p.m. The people with the yappy dog should keep in their house -- or get rid of it. San Diego County and Riverside County both have noise abatement ordinances. The first words in the latter are: "At certain levels, sound becomes noise and may jeopardize the health, safety or general welfare of Riverside County residents and degrade their quality of life". The victim here should remember that she's right, and consult with a lawyer ....

By theman on 10/26/2008 at 7:36 p.m. See how a otherwise normal person can do insane things when pushed to that point. She must've been white. A black person would've just kicked the neighbor's ars. A Mexican would've taken the mutt to TJ and an Asian would've...well there's no need to stereotype. By Lyepis on 10/26/2008 at 8:45 p.m. i love animals so i dont condone this....however! i dont see why she should have to live with that kind of noise either so i dont know why the case was thrown out. here is what she should have done. after my dads house was broken into, he bought a speaker that he plugged in and it would "bark" and it sounded like a large dog. somehow it was set to a motion detector so if anyone came within a certain range of the house , it would bark. this lady shoud have gotten one of these and every time that yappy neighbors dog barked, she could have had her "dog" barking too. all night if necessary. maybe even when the yappy dog wasnt barking. just for the h*ll of it....! paybacks, and all....i'll take your yappy dog and raise ya one big*ss rotweiler!
