Police: CCSD officer left K9 in vehicle over 6 hours, causing his death
Court filings allege a Clark County School District police officer left “his K9 partner” in his vehicle for over six hours, causing the dog’s death.
James Harris faces misdemeanor counts of confining an animal in a motor vehicle and failing to provide for a confined animal.
A CCSD police affidavit said Harris did not leave water for the dog, K9 Marley. There were also not “sufficient airflow or temperature controls,” police said.
Harris, a CCSD police officer since 2003 and a K9 handler since 2019, was assigned to Foothill High School for the school day on Nov. 14, when the assigned officers were absent, according to the affidavit.
K9 Marley was also on duty that day and was in the kennel of Harris’ department vehicle, police said. When Harris arrived at the school, the dog was not seen leaving the vehicle with him, according to the records.
Harris said in a statement that he shut off the air in the passenger part of the car, but left it on for K9 Marley and kept the vehicle running, police wrote.
He admitted to failing to check on K9 Marley for the time he was assigned to the school, according to the affidavit, and said he disconnected a heat sensor designed to open the windows, turn on a fan and sound an alarm if the vehicle reaches a termperature dangerous for the animal.
Police said surveillance video over six and a half hours did not show Harris checking on the dog, giving him water or allowing him to relieve himself.
After Harris returned, police said he “called out for assistance and stated over the radio that there was a problem with his dog.” He performed CPR on the K9 before the dog was pronounced dead at an animal hospital, according to the affidavit.
“The subsequent autopsy and necropsy performed on K9 Marley state that K9 Marley is likely to have died from heat related illness, as no other health or medical contributing factors were observed,” police wrote.
District Attorney Steve Wolfson in December called for harsher penalties for people convicted of animal cruelty following a high-profile in which a bulldog called Reba died after being put in a taped-shut plastic tote.

SPARKS, Nev. (BRAIN) — Bicycle Technologies International relocated its warehouse and service operations to a new distribution center with a footprint 50% larger than its previous location about a half mile away.
The facility increases BTI’s inventory capacity, and accelerates order fulfillment for its dealer network. It also expands BTI’s suspension service workspace. All the daily cutoff times will remain unchanged for shops, and the facility is fully operational and shipping packages.
“Our new Sparks distribution center represents a major investment in the future of our company and in the success of our retailer partners,” said Preston Martin, BTI co-founder. “The expanded footprint is timely given that BTI will be introducing more top brands in 2026.”
The company is headquartered in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and continues to ship from there as well.
BTI said more stock at the new facility means fewer split shipments from multiple locations, reducing the average carbon footprint per order.
Supplementing the building’s skylights and office windows, BTI upgraded all lighting to LEDs with occupancy sensors that save energy by turning off lights in vacant areas. The Sparks’ staff can utilize BTI’s Green Machine benefit that pays employees cash to ride, walk, or take public transit to work.
BTI’s new address is 740 E Glendale Ave., Sparks, Nevada, 89431.
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The ACLU of Nevada presented a case before the Nevada Supreme Court on Tuesday, challenging the Clark County School District’s (CCSD) refusal to release records related to a 2023 incident at Durango High School.
The incident involved a police officer throwing a student to the ground. CCSD claims the records are part of an “investigative file,” making them exempt from public disclosure.
The court will decide if public agencies can withhold records by labeling them as such. ACLU Executive Director Athar Haseebullah stated, “This case is really going to determine whether or not public agencies can hide records from the public by simply labeling them as investigative files. Public agencies should not act transparently.”
