TROY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – The Troy Police Department announced that its investigation into the death of a groundhog at Frear Park has been completed.

After consulting with the Rensselaer County District Attorney’s Office, Rensselaer Police Officers Tyler Sammon and Matt Spath will not face any charges in the incident.

“After thoroughly reviewing all available information regarding the case and in consultation with the Rensselaer County District Attorney’s Office, it has been determined that the case did not yield sufficient information to warrant charges,” Troy Police Captain Dan DeWolf said.

Police say that Sammon was driving the golf cart and Spath was his passenger. Witnesses told golf course staff they saw two men on a golf cart deliberately chase down a groundhog until it couldn’t run. The two men then allegedly ran it over with the cart.

Last month Sammon and Spath were placed on administrative leave earlier this month.

The case is now in the hands of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation.

The alleged incident was first reported to police on Friday, July 29.
