A South Carolina police officer whose police dog died after he left him in a hot car for nearly eight hours will face no criminal charges. On July 26, Hurt left Turbo in a police vehicle from around 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. while he attended an active-shooter training at a local high school. Holbrook said at the news conference Hurt had parked the car in the shade and left the vehicle’s air conditioning on. But for unclear reasons, he deactivated the vehicle’s heat alarm, which sets off a siren and horn if the inside temperature gets too hot.
