On Friday, February 17, Sheriff Shane Ferrari, who was off duty in his personal vehicle, witnessed a gold passenger car driving dangerously in the Farmington city limits. The driver passed on a double yellow line twice and then ran a red light. As he was about to call dispatch to give them the vehicle information, Sheriff Ferrari observed the car had pulled into a parking lot at La Plata Drive and Padilla Dr. As the Sheriff exited his truck to check on the other vehicle, the male driver of the passenger car exited his vehicle wielding a metal pipe. At this time, Sheriff Ferrari identified himself as the Sheriff and law enforcement. As the male advanced towards him, the Sheriff instructed him to stop and show his hands. Shortly after, the males dog jumped out of the car and ran towards Sheriff Ferrari. Observing the dog’s behavior and believing the dog was going to attack him, the Sheriff was forced to shoot the dog. The male immediately stopped and dropped a metal pipe. Dispatch was immediately called and Farmington Police arrived on scene to investigate the incident.
Out of respect to Farmington Police Department’s investigation into the matter, a public statement was withheld while they completed all aspects of the investigation and determined appropriate charges. Any information on the case can be obtained from the Farmington Police Department.
