Police dog bites man wanted on felony dog fighting charges
DAYTON - A Dayton police dog on Sunday, Nov. 23, bit and helped apprehend a man wanted on felony dog-fighting charges.
Ranon O. Brock, 31, allegedly fled on foot when he saw officers who responded to a burglary-in-progress call in the 100 block of Cambridge Avenue at about 5:45 p.m., Lt. Patrick Welsh said.
The K-9 unit was called to help track Brock (pictured), who saw the dog and began to run back toward officers who were chasing from another direction, Welsh said.
The K-9 and another officer caught Brock at the same time, and the dog accidentally bit the officer in the calf, Welsh said.
The dog released once given the command by an officer who started to wrestle with Brock. The K-9 jumped into the fray and grabbed Brock on the wrist so officers could arrest him.
“The dog does not distinguish between good guys and bad,” Welsh said. “But he did follow commands, and that’s what he is trained to do.”
The officer was treated for a puncture wound at a local hospital and released. Brock was treated for bites to his hand and was then transported to jail on two felony counts of illegal dog fighting.
Brock also faces misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest, obstructing official business and other outstanding warrants involving domestic violence.
