Q’lan says he shot dog

~ WILMINGTON
(AP) A Leland man is facing
charges of cruelty to an animal
and other charges after sheriff’s
deputies said he shot a neigh
bor’s dog.
His reason? He says the dog
was talking to him and told him
to go to hell.
Joan Wilson and her daughter
were inside the couple’s mobile
home last month when they
heard a gunshot. Mrs. Wilson
said she looked out a window
and saw David Russ putting a
shotgun in his new pickup truck.
The Wilson’s golden retriever,
Maggie, lay on the ground with a
gunshot wound. She is recover-

Sanders’mother, Dolly,
has said the news of the
award was “like a knife
through my heart.”
DEPTFORD, N.J.
(AP) Dozens of demonstrators
marched outside a catering hall
here Saturday to protest a local
police organization’s decision to
honor a white Glassboro police
officer who fatally shot a black
teenager last year.
- The Gloucester County Police
Awards Committee presented
Patrolman Peter Amico with a
Combat Cross. The award is be
dtowed upon some officers in
volved in combat with an armed
assailant.
- Amicohassaid heshot 14-year
-6ld Eltarmaine “L.T.” Sanders
after the teen lunged at him with
a knife in April 1994. Eyewit
nesses dispute that account.
. Amico had been called tobreak
up a fight between Sanders and
a 17-year-old cousin.
The shooting touched off a fu
ror in the black community,
prompting eight consecutive days
of protests and demonstrations
in Glassboro.
A grand jury cleared Amico of
criminal wrongdoing, and this
week, the U.S. Justice Depart
ment cleared him of any civil
rights violations.
The decision to commend
Amico for his handling of the
situation has rekindled anger in
the black community.
Chanting “Nojustice, no peace”
and “They say get back; we say
fight back,” they rallied outside
Auletto’s restaurant here for
about an hour Saturday.
Members of the Southern
Gloucester County Chapter of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
astate NAACP official and mem
bers of East Orange-based Black
Cops Against Police Brutality
were among the 40 protestors.
Signs on cars parked near the
demonstration read “Pray for
Lost Souls” and “Kid Killer.”
Sanders’ mother, Dolly, has
said the news of the award was
“like a knife through my heart.”
Amico was nominated for the
award and selected by a 13-mem
ber committee, according to
chairman Leo Selb, the
Woodbury Heights Police Chief.
The award has been given six
times since the police awards
group was formed in 1980.
Selb has said that the commit
tee scrutinized Amico’s nomina
‘tion.

Strippers at the club now must
climb stairs to reach the 4-foot
high stage.
“It’s just asinine,” fumed Bob
Payton, an employee at Talents
ing.
Before sheriff’s deputies could
talk to Russ, he had a heart at
tack.
He underwent heart surgery,
80 he wasn'’t served with an ar
rest warrant until May 3, depu
ties said.
“He was shouting at me with
the deputies right there. He
called me a coward because I
wouldn’t fight with him. He told
the deputies the dog was talking
to him and told him to go to hell,”
Edwin Wilson said.
Russ was in court Thursday
and asked for a court-appointed
lawyer. His trial is scheduled for
June 6.
