Police dog wins in scrap with suspect idiot
2005-10-31
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 31 (UPI) -- A cornered South Carolina car thief suspect who decided to wrestle with a police dog and try to strangle it was recovering from bite wounds Monday.
Yeah, that'll work
Sunday night, police in Charlotte responded to a 911 call from a man who said he could see someone trying to steal his car. The canine unit also responded, and after just a few minutes, the dog located the man and had him cornered, the Charlotte Observer said.
Suspect soon to be known as "Chew Toy"
Officers said the man lunged at the dog, and wrestled with it briefly as he tried to choke it. The dog took control and bit the suspect, which required hospital treatment, the newspaper said.
Hope it required a lot of stiches
On top of charges of attempted breaking and entering a vehicle and resisting arrest, the unidentified man faces a charge of assault on a police dog.
Good doggie

#4  There was a knifing in a very popular bar about four blocks from here two years ago. The suspect ran out, and tried to run away. Two police dogs were brought over to help find the guy. One of them cornered him in the back of a friend's yard. The guy tried to kick the German Shepherd police dog. The dog grabbed the perp's crotch. You could hear the scream in my house, three blocks away. The dog didn't break the skin, but from what the police said, the guy was in PAIN! Tried to sue the cops - that didn't work out very well, either. He inadvertently admitted to ANOTHER crime than the knifing, trying to make it sound like the police were intentionally targeting him without reason. He's doing 15 to 30 in Canon City.
