Man Fights Police Dog, Faces Charges

After spotting his car tied to a string of thefts and chases across towns, they pulled him over on Main Street around 7.45pm, but he bolted on foot, leading to a quick K9 track down. The police dog, Scorso, sniffed him out hiding in a backyard on Wells Avenue, where Williams put up a fighting in his officers and the pup. He reportedly punched the dog several times in the head and body, but the K9 only got minor injuries. To get him under control, cops hit him with pepper spray and a taser before hauling him to the hospital and back to custody. No major harm to the team, but it escalated fast from a routine stop.
