Man Held On Arson, Cruelty Charges In Dog Deaths
Suspect Arrested Following Phone Tip

POSTED: 8:19 am MST March 4, 2004
GOLDEN, Colo. -- A suspect was under arrest Thursday on suspicion of arson
and cruelty to animals for allegedly setting three dogs on fire, killing
two of them.

Ryan Turtura, 19 (pictured, left), was arrested after a telephone tip led
authorities to question him, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department said.

The arrest warrant for Turtura indicated that he admitted setting the dog
on fires during a voluntary interview with investigators Thursday afternoon.

Turtura faces charges of first-degree arson, cruelty to animals,
second-degree burglary, theft and criminal mischief. He was being held
under $25,000 bail in the Jefferson County Jail and wil be formally
charged Monday.

"It's a heinous offense, obviously," said Ted Mink, the Jefferson County
sheriff. "Setting a helpless animal on fire kind of tugs at the
heartstrings of the community and society in general, so it's very
important that we followed up on this and get the suspect in here so that
this doesn't happen in the future."

Four dogs were stolen Feb. 16 from the Colorado Humane Society in Englewood.

Two were bound and set on fire in a plastic kennel behind an Arvada movie
theater the same night. One died.

Three hours later, a third dog was found burning in a stairwell behind a
Jefferson County fitness center. A gym employee saw a man standing over
the burning animal and carrying two other dogs.

The man dropped one dog and fled. The burned dog died, but the one dropped
by the man survived.

Police later found a drug store surveillance video (pictured, right)
showing a man purchasing duct tape and rubbing alcohol the night the dogs
were killed. An enhanced copy of the video was made public on Monday and
that led to the telephone tip.

The person who phoned in the tip is eligible for a $17,000 reward if
Turtura is convicted.

Hi, I'd like to comment on your recent case of Ryan Turtura. The case
where puppies were burned. I think the punishment was way too harsh. Why?
I think the sentence was based mostly on the public's reaction to the case
and not enough was based on other factors. For example, this could have
been a religious offering, it could have also been an act of free speach, a
statement.

I am also disturbed that this sentence is also much longer than what one
would recieve if it was murder, which is 4 years in some places, then they
get their probation or whatever.

A puppy is 70% water, after all, so if I were to do something mean to a
glass of water then would I find myself behind bars one day? Just
considering the brain, of about 70 percent water, followed by lipids and
cholesterols, ions such as sodium and potassium, and other minerals such as
calcium.

Perhaps it was an experiment gone arwy. I thought Colorado wanted more
technology oriented industry.

Many products and procedures are first done on animals... I don't hear of
too many scientists that have 10.5 years taken away because of that.

It would stifle innovation.

The judgment moves us back a little toward the stone age again. How? It
goes along the same lines as not being able to experiment and manipulate
the human genome. I'm sure eventually humans will be genetically
engineered, but cases like this will surely hinder and slow down that
progress.

I think this case was decided by PETA and other animal rights groups, no
judge left alone would have sentenced one person to 10 harsh years over
this.

The punishment is too harsh, they should rethink it, because no one was
harmed in the incident.

Thanks for reading.
