(Continued) On March 22, 2007, St. Paul Police executed a search warrant for Gomez's home, during which time they discovered blood splattered in the basement and a cell phone with video clips showing the dog being decapitated with a chain saw. Gomez was arrested and charged with felony counts of animal cruelty and torture.
Gomez had allegedly bragged about the animal's torture to people in Crystal's neighborhood. The evidence police found at his house furthermore supported statements made to Crime Library in March by a person who claimed to have first-hand knowledge of what happened to Chevy. Speaking under the promise of anonymity, the source had this to say:
"He bragged about killing the dog. He told me he took the dog down to his basement and hung it from the rafters... He thought it was funny, and he acted like he was proud of it."
According to the police complaint written by Sgt. Jim Gray, Gomez admitted that the dog was beheaded in his basement but insisted that others did it after he told them to "cut its head off" with a chain saw. It was the same people who Gomez told police took the dog's head to Brown's house.
Gomez made his first court appearance on March 23, 2007, at which time a judge set his bond at $20,000. Unable to make bond, Gomez has remained behind bars in the county jail since his arrest.
