LAPD K-9 Chomps On Hiding Fugitive
Published 2 years ago
LAPD released footage of the arrest of a wanted fugitive, and the arrest was aided by a K-9 unit with a keen nose and sharp teeth.
The incident took place on July 5, 2022 in the Rampart area of Los Angeles. Police spotted a known-gang member that was a fugitive from justice. They confronted the suspect, Eric Patterson, but he soon fled on foot. Patterson was able to hide from officers, but soon a K-9 unit was dispatched from Metro and the dog sniffed out Patterson who was hiding in thick vegetation.
The K-9 chewed on Patterson but was soon called off. Patterson was given the ultimatum to surrender or the dog would be unleashed again, and the suspect turned himself in. Patterson was treated for bite marks to the arm and back.
