A Chandler police sergeant may have to wait three more months before he is tried on an animal cruelty charge stemming from the death of his police dog.

The attorney for Sgt. Tom Lovejoy filed a motion Wednesday morning requesting a mid-January trial in the San Tan Justice Court.

Lovejoy is accused of killing Bandit, his police K-9 partner, by leaving the dog in a closed car for 13 hours in August.

Animal cruelty is a misdemeanor offense. A conviction in the case would carry a maximum penalty of six months in jail.
