TMZ earlier reported that Seagal took part in a March 9 raid on the home of Jesus Llovera for his A&E show, 'Steven Seagal: Lawman.'

Llovera alleges that Seagal arrived at his home with a tank, which he rammed into a gate on his property, and that an 11-month-old puppy was killed during the raid along with 100 roosters.

Seagal said he's outraged by the allegation, and Sheriff Arpaio said it is without merit. "If my deputies, or posse man Seagal for that matter, had done something so awful like shooting a family dog, then where are the photos to prove it?" Arpaio asked.

Llovera's attorney, Robert Campos, told The AP Friday his client didn't accuse action star Seagal "of having anything to do with the death of his puppy. He just wanted an apology from Seagal for his role in the destruction of my client's home, property and animals."

According to witnesses, a dog was present on Llovera's property when deputies and SWAT team members, including Seagal, entered the premises with a search warrant to arrest him on cockfighting charges and seize all evidence pertaining to the crime.

Llovera is seeking $25,000 in damages against the sheriff's office for humiliation, emotional distress and property damage he says were inflicted during the raid.

The first two seasons of 'Lawman' followed Seagal as he worked as a reserve deputy sheriff in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, a role he's taken on since the late 1980s. For Season 3 the action has moved to Maricopa County, Arizona.
