Hello I am Derrick Chadwick, Friend, co-worker and superviser to Pompeyo Moralas. Pompeyo is a Phillipino native and is currently a registered legal Resident Alien worker. I have known Pompeyo for 7 to 8 years where we met at work. He is a nice and gentle man who works hard. Extremly hard. All of his coworkers know what a great person and animal lover he is.

Pompeyo and his family have many animals several birds 2 other dogs, a lazy cat and a homemade goldfish pond out front of his house that he is proud of. HE had to make a net around the goldfish pond to keep his cat and wild birds out of it. His buddy Bugsy and him were inseperable when he was not working at his normal working with me. He takes Bugsy shopping and to some of his handyman jobs he does for friends and family. July forth he was at his 3rd handyman job for that day and had been working hard cleaning a yard on the roof and in the yard . HE had let Bugsy run and play as he cleaned in the backyard untill he was getting near done. It was 5pm and he had been working hard since 7am in the Fla heat.

Pompeyo had added a mirror on the hood of his truck up near the passenger headlight cause it helps him to see better on that side. He put the loop of the leash over this mirror so the dog would be in the shade and would not run off near the road as he finished picking up his tools. He was weary for the day working for 10 hours in the heat and climbed into his truck on the opposite side of where he had looped the leash on the mirror and left the yard. Horribly he did no know he still had little Bugsy outside and his leash was still hooked on the mirror. A unidentified lady flagged Pompeyo down to tell him his dog was being dragged. Stuned and horrified at what he had done Pompeyo picked his dog up in his arms and put him in the passengers seat. This is horrible , but its a horrible accident. Pompeyo did not intentionaly tied the puppy to the truck to hurt him. Pompeyo drove home since he was close and was still in shock at what he had done to his puppy.

Fourtunalty as he pulled into his home a dear lady named Jessica and her boyfriend pulled in behind him. She told Pompeyo that she knew where to take him to get immediate help. I personally spoke with Jessica the next day Thursday and Firday and she stated to me there wasnt much of a conversation with Pompeyo due to him being still in shock and the language barrier due to this and the urgency of getting the dog to the Emergency Animal Hospital on Pallofox st.. Jessica and Pompeyo quickly swapped phone numbers and Jessica immediately took the little Bugsy to the Animal Hospital. Pompeyo still in shock and was to clean up from the days hard work and to go check on his dog. Within 30 minutes he called Jessica and found out his little dog was going to make it , but was going to need some serious medical attention. Before Pompeyo could clean up and go check on his dog in person, the Escambia County Sherrifs office arrived at his house since they had been called by 911 by an onlooker. Pompeyo has a language barrier being Phillipino and it seems the Deputies could not accertain his plan for caring for the dog. ( As stated on Wear 3 news cast by a African-American Sherrifs Deputy). Pompeyo was still in shock and horrified at the injuries to the dog was unable to expain much. A deputy said on camera they arrested Pompeyo casue he did not havea plan to care for the Dog. At no time did Pompeyo refuse to take the dog to the vet , bacasue Jessica had already taken the dog to the vet so its impossible he could have said that. Pompeyo told me he never said that. Debbie Williams the reporter from Channel 5 news WKRG out of MObile Alabama spent riday morning at the Escambia county Sherrifs office and no one could say they heard him say he was not going to take his dog to the vet. I was a investigator for the State fo Fla at one time and a MIllitary Police officer for the USAF overseas in the country of Turkey. I dealt with launguage barriers for 2 years over seas and know my fair share of comunicating with a person with limited/no English speaking skills from a foreign country. I dont fault the Deputies for the misscominication, However there seems to have been some misscomunication. I have had many converstions explaining my work with Pompeyo and have had misscomunications myself. Pompeyo was unable to go to the Emergency Animal hospital to check on his dog or arrange payments, becasue he was arrested by the Sheriff deputies.

The following morning ( July 5th , THur) I made Pompeyo come to work and explain to me what happened and I spoke with Jessica the witness to the accident the same person who took Bugsy immediatly to the emergency center and she told us the location of the hospital and confirmed what Pompeyo said. We went to the hospital and they were closed since they are an after hours eemrgency center. I phoned the Hospital at 6pm when they opened and they said Bugsy had been moved to one of the animal shelters. I phoned the Animal control Main office and the number reached the after hours opperator and we were told to call the following day (Friday).

While working I phoned the Main number and found it to be busy at least 4 times. We recieved a call from the family memeber and from our work office a Animal control officer was looking for Pompeyo and he was to contact Candaice the director/manager. The phone number we were given was the same one I had tried all morning. I was able to contact Candace for Pompeyo since he worried he could ot speak clearly adnd inquired how Little Bugsy was doing , when we could see Bugsy and that we were taking off work shortly to see Bugsy and start to pay some on his medical bills and arrange a payment plan. Candace was very nice, but stated the Authorities had placed the dog on hold and we were not allowed to vist of even pay on the Bills due to the hold. Candice requested for Pompeyo to come to sign away his rights to his puppy since it would make Bugsy able to be adopted. Pompeyo did not want to sign away his rights. Pompeyo loves his dog and is horrified at the injury to his dog, but still wants to take care of him. There has been many accidents all over the world where pets have been hurt of killed unintentionally and accidently (and even children )by backing over their pet or child or other causes. Candace spoke with Pompeyo and he told her what happenedto hurt his puppy and that he wanted to keep his dog and see him and pay for his bills. Sadley Candace had to repeat the same that the authorites would not allow her to let him see Bugsy or pay on his bills. Candace did say Pompeyo could request a hearing to regain custody of his little Bugsy. We were contacted by Channel 3 new WEAR and was asked to make a statemenet and I went with Pompeyo and spoke for him at lenght about what I just typed. We also spoke to Debbie with chanenl 5 neww WKRG about the same above information. These two news stations knew there was more to the story and we thank them for letting us tell waht happened I had contacted The Pensacola New journal Thursday and had given a verbal sttement, but it was never printed. Jessica the witness will only speak to the Prosecuter and Defense Attorny and at court. I will myself , as well as his coworkers and family with speak for him too.

On July forth before this happened Pompeyo was asked by one of the other palces he worked that day to find a snake in the yard. Pompeyo found the sanke and captured it. ( I would have killed it myself!) Pompeyo loves animals so he brought the snake in a container Thursday to a co-worker named John WInters so it could be released in the woods since he lives in the country. That is how Pompeyo treats animals.

Pompeyo was told by a family friend who is a Lawyer not to speak to anyone untill he gets an Attorny so that is why I have been speaking in his behalf. Why wouldnt I ? Hes my friend and I know what kinda person he is. HEs a geniune good person and a lover of people and animals . HE was there for me when my wife , who was also a Phillipino woman was dieng of cancer. I lost her 5 years ago. Pompeyo has helped me train my own dog, Chester a bad chewer of my furniture. Two months ago I told Pompeyo when I woke up that morning I found my coffee table chewed on all corners and was jokingly saying I was going to go home and smack him. Pompeyo was adamate about not hiting my dog! HE said " nonono never hit you pet, roll up a newspaper or magazine and smack the floor or table to get his attention and use your voice..... never hit your dog." I said ok man I was just kidding. Pompeyo has trained many animals and given animals to friends and family members . He has been given animals, because people who can't care for them know Pompeyo will or will find someone who can.


I can understand the immediate outcry and hate for what has happened since it seemed it was done intentionaly. Pompeyo is concerned for his puppy and is very upset over the injuries to his little buddy. Thank goodness hes it to heal and we( Pompeyo his Friends and famliy) plan to help Bugsy continue to get the necessry treatment he needs when the authorites will allow.


I know some will think this is purely biased, because he is my friend, however , as a former police officer and investigator I have talked to most everyone involved and listed thier names according to our conversations. Pompeyo will have his day in court to answer for the injuries to his pet and as well as to why he didnt go with the girl to the VEts office.

Thankyou for your time in reading this and your love for animials like Bugsy. I hope it was understandable and this is not an excuse for what hapepned this is just clearly what accidently happened.

Godbless,
