From ANIMAL PEOPLE, October 1998:

Reed Young, 46, of Fort Worth, chief cruelty officer for
the Humane Society of North Texas since 1991, and a deputy constable
for Tarrant County since 1993, was arrested the night of September
17 by Fort Worth city police, charged with staging two shooting incidents
during the preceding week, allegedly to draw attention to dogfighting.
On September 10, Young said, someone fired two shots into
the vacant passenger side of his truck as he drove into the humane society
parking lot. On September 14, Young said, he was responding to
a dogfighting complaint when someone shot twice into the driver’s side
of the truck, missing him but shattering his windshield. Flying glass
cut his forehead. Young said he shot back but didn’t hit a man he saw
running into a wooded area. Fellow HSNT investigator Debbie
Martin told Deanna Boyd of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that she
and Young had investigated previous dogfighting complaints near
where the second shooting purportedly occurred, seized 15 pit bull terriers
in one raid there, and won conviction of an alleged dogfighter.
Fort Worth police sergeants T.J. Saye and Gerald Teague told Boyd
that ballistics and gunpowder residue tests showed the shots were all
fired from close range, with the same gun, and that the holes in
Young’s truck were not consistent with shots being fired at a moving
vehicle. Teague also said Young had admitted inventing the shooting
stories. Young was suspended by both the humane society and Tarrant
County, but attorney Don Feare, a Humane Society of North Texas
board member who is representing Young, told Veronica Alaniz of
the Dallas Morning News that Young did not confess and is not guilty.
