SAN DIEGO -- A veteran police officer whose canine partner died of heat stroke at the lawman's Alpine home was charged Friday with a single misdemeanor count of leaving a dog in a confined vehicle causing death.
Paul Hubka, a 22-year member of the San Diego Police Department, is accused of leaving Forrest, a 5-year-old Belgian Malinois, in his car the morning of June 20 after parking in his driveway following a graveyard shift.
An investigation determined that Forrest may have been in the department vehicle with the windows rolled up for as long as seven hours. The high temperature in the East County that day was well over 100 degrees.

According to the original indictment, Sydnor, Lanham and Freeman, while on official duty, taunted an 18-year-old high school student who had been brought to the detention center on a Speeding Charge. The deputies teased the teenager about his physical appearance (weight of 120lbs).
The indictment alleges that the Defendants then Solicited a group of Convicted Felons housed in a general population cell to intimidate the teenager. The indictment further alleges that the officers (heroes) then left the teenager in the cell with the (14 Feral) inmates, who proceeded to Sexually Assault (Brutally RAPE) the teen, running a 'Train' on the Teen, (who shouldve been placed in the Drunk tank as standard procedure) amid predatory taunts: "Come in here, girlfriend" -- "Bring him to me!" -- "Happy Valentine's Day!"
.
Sydnor admitted in court today that he conspired with the other officers and with the inmates to violate the teenagers civil rights, that he knew the teen faced a threat from the other inmates, and that he deliberately ignored that danger. Sydnor also admitted that he had other officers falsify reports relating to the incident.
Lanham and Freeman have pleaded not guilty to the charges against them and will face trial beginning on Aug. 11, 2008. Sydnor has entered a Guilty plea and agreed to testify against the other two, Wesley Lanham and Shawn Freeman, in consideration of a reduced sentence, most likely 15 years in prison. The others, who insist that they're being used as scapegoats, confront the prospect of Life Sentences.
The case is being prosecuted by Special Litigation Counsel Kristy L. Parker and Trial Attorney Forrest Christian of the Criminal Section of the Justice Departments Civil Rights Division and by the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of Kentucky. SOURCE U.S. Department of Justice
