Stephens County, OK (KFOR) — A Stephens County deputy was fired after his K9 officer died while in his care.

The incident came to light August and, since then, the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office has conducted an investigation and terminated Matthew Peck.

The investigation has been turned over to the district attorney to decide if felony animal cruelty charges will be formally filed.

“We were shocked, and we’re saddened,” said Stephens County Sheriff Wayne McKinney. “This is a loss of one of our deputies or K9 deputies.”

K9 Deputy Bak was just 2 years old when he joined the force, but his name will be joining those of four other fallen deputies on a monument outside the Stephens County Courthouse.

Peck has been Bak’s partner for four years until sources said he left the dog inside his deputy cruiser during his days off work.

Sources said he did not discover the animal until days later when he was back on duty.

He smelled the dead animal while on his way to court one morning.

Sources said Bak was left inside the deputy’s car for 36 hours.

I'm crying right now.

Sources said Bak was left inside the deputy’s car for 36 hours.

How do you spend every minute on duty with your partner and walk away and leave him in a death trap?

Assuming Bak was housed at the station and you had a court appearance, how could you go to the station to pick up your patrol car and not bring your best buddy a biscuit.

In addition to animal cruelty, he should be charged with destruction of valuable police property. Deputy dogs are very expensive.

This asshat routinely left this dog in the car for days . He should be charged with murder.
