The Issue

On Sunday May 19, 2024, officer Myron Woodson a city police officer in Sturgeon Mo (officer is also in joint communication with the city of Hallsville Mo.), spotted a little dog out of his enclosure, unaliving a tiny, sweet blind and deaf  The dog is a 10lb Shitzu named named Teddy..Teddy is blind and deaf, and had escaped his enclosure unable to find his way home. Officer Woodson, instead of taking him to thr pound, shot him twice with his service weapon and threw his body in a ditch. The scene was witnessed by a teenage neighbor and the owner was alerted.  The owner demanded to know where his dog was disposed of at which time the officer laughed at Teddys owner. We demand justice for this sweet dog, who was personally known and loved by many. Please sign the petition to help bring justice and hopefully remove Mr.Woodson from service in both cities of Sturgeon and Hallsville.  This dog was well loved and was never an issue to the community, his owners and an entire community are shocked and saddened by this event. 

UPDATE AS OF TODAY MAY 25, 2024 THE MAYOR OF STURGEON MO HAS RESIGNED!!! YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND PAVING A ROAD TO JUSTICE! THANK YOU ALL!!! KEEP SIGNING
