CLARKSVILLE, IN (WAVE) - A southern Indiana firefighter accused of a dog will soon be without a paycheck.
According to our partners at the News and Tribune, Gary Crowe, Jr., a member of the Clarksville Fire Department, was placed on paid administrative leave in September after he allegedly shot a dog at Crowe's Tire and Battery.
