Go antiviral outrage over the deaths of hundreds of dogs and cats at the boulder city Animal Shelter played a major role in the resignation of that towns Police Administrator. But the full story hasnt come out until now. The iteams george knapp has uncovered troubling allegations that have surfaced. And has the exclusive story Vanessa Murphy 8 news now would you mind answering some questions for us . Bill conger id love to talk to you. You have to talk to the city manager. Vm i cant talk to you separately . Bc no. When bill conger was hired two years ago, he promised transparency and accountability in the Boulder City Police department but he found it a tough promise to keep in a town not known for either. Public anger about the euthanization of animals is perceived as the issue that pushed him out the door, but theres much more to it. Last week, boulder city detectives met with Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson affidavit naming Mary Jo Frazier, former manager of boulder city animal control, on 37 felony counts of animal cruelty. But multiple sources familiar with the story told to the iteam that wolfson got an earful about much more. Boulder city officials continue to claim that Police Administrator conger did the right thing when he allowed Mary Jo Frazier to retire rather than face criminal charges. In april of 2015, conger was told about widespread problems at the Animal Shelter by animal control employee ann inabnitt. A Police Investigation identified 91 dogs and cats that had been euthanized by frazier without waiting the required 5 days or getting an outside vet to sign off. Documents obtained by the iteam show the actual number of suspicious euthanizations is closer to 1300. Conger reportedly didnt want the city to be embarrassed and decided on his own the case however, the da was told last week that ann inabnitt initially warned conger about problems at the shelter a full year earlier, in april 2014. In that instance, inabnitt was upset when frazier allegedly came into the shelter with a dog owned by her ex husband. Tom finn former Boulder City Police chief mary jo came into the shelter on her day off with her ex husbands dog, which was a dachshund and she stated quote, im tired of this dog pissing on the floor and she euthanized it in front of ann, put it in a bag, and threw it in a freezer and said dont put this in the log book and she left. Within recent weeks, conger reportedly called inabnitt on the carpet and told her the meeting in 2014 never happened, that she never told him about that incident. Something else relayed to the da the Police Investigators working the case were allegedly instructed by conger to omit any reference to other criminal matters. Specifi cally narcotic drugs were missing from the shelter. The da is now aware of those allegations and has requested followup information, according to prosecutors. A third issue hanging over congers head is one that, like the others, was initially dug up by his predecessor, former chief tom finn, who uncovered this document showing that conger intervened in a dui case involving a family friend. He ordered the release of Dianna Gibson whod was arrested in november 2014 for drunk driving. Finn notes that conger isnt a peace officer. He was hired by a private contractor to be administrator, not the police chief, a move that was done so he could draw police salary. Releasing a dui suspect without bail was a surprise to the finn as a police chief, i never ord anybody, its just something i purview of a judge. I never saw this form before that was sent to me in my records request. Dave Courvoisier the only statement we have about why bill conger resigned is something that was posted on the familys Facebook Page but has since been removed. It said recent events have been a distraction and hindered congers ability to do his job, so he decided to move on and enjoy his retirement. No charges have been filed against frazier or anyone else. The matter is still being considered by the da. However, at least one legal action is underway. This morning lawyers for boulder city delivered a subpoena to george.
