The actor, who has served as a reserve deputy sheriff since the mid-'80s, was part of a team that arrived at Jesus Sanchez Llovera's Arizona house in March with a tank and armed in full riot gear, Llovera alleges in his legal documents.
Llovera claims that the raid, carried out by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department, was "unfounded" because they believed Llovera was raising roosters for illegal cockfighting. But he says the roosters are only "for show."
Llovera -- who served both Seagal and Sheriff Joe Arpaio with an official notice of claim, the first step toward a lawsuit -- says his 11-month-old puppy was shot and killed during the raid and that police also killed more than 100 of his roosters.
Additionally, he says the police rammed the tank into a gate on his property and that his home suffered "substantial damage."
Llovera is seeking $100,000 in damages and wants a "formal written apology" from Seagal to his children for the death of their puppy, "a beloved family pet."
According to TMZ, the entire incident was recorded for Seagal's reality show, Steven Seagal Lawman.
A&E declined comment when contacted by The Hollywood Reporter. Seagal and the Maricopa County authorities have yet to comment.

I've always thought Seagal was a fucking pussy and a blowhard and the fact that he wouldn't show up without a tank and SWAT team just proves it.
And why in the fuck would they use a SWAT team and a tank (a fucking TANK) to raid for some fighting cocks?
Don't get me wrong - I don't believe for a minute the birds were just for show, that many cocks screams cock fighter, but still, a fucking tank?
They must have been very afraid of the rooster's fighting spurs! Oh wait they were probably in cages when they arrived.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's what the tank was for, to run them over. The article did say they were all killed, right?
ReplyDeleteWhat good is a fucking tank if you don't use it?
ReplyDelete'Sides it will look good on teevee.
Screw the birds, dog, gate, house, and scaring the kids.
It's all about the money.
Punks.
The tank thing was a bit much...
ReplyDeleteShow Chickens?? Maybe... But I doubt it...
Alright, alright, allready....
ReplyDeleteGuys let's get technically correct. That was not a "Tank" by military standards. It was not "fully - tracked", did not have a powered turret with a main gun cannon above 37mm, nor a turret mounted coaxial machine gun, nor sloping spall armor of homogenous hardened steel of 2'' minimum thickness.
All this provided by Wirecutters official military armament technician! Now let the "hootin n' hollerin" begin!
I can't believe they still allow him to carry a badge. After his behavior here, we ran him off. Imagine that, New Orleans doesn't even want him!
ReplyDeleteI think he tried to make his assistant a sex slave or something.
