Boulder City Pursuing Charges Against Former Animal Control Supervisor

Boulder City says it's now pursuing criminal charges against its former animal control supervisor following allegations that she improperly euthanized nearly 100 animals in one year.

The city said in a press release Thursday that it was seeking to file felony and gross misdemeanor charges against Mary Jo Frazier.

The city said it forced her out after learning about the "inexcusable" events and determined against charges, but as of Thursday had decided to take action because of "public involvement."

The Clark County District Attorney's office said it discussed with the city allegations that Frazier may have improperly euthanized 91 animals last year, as first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, but no charges have been filed yet.

City officials didn't immediately respond to calls.

Frazier also couldn't immediately be reached.
