Shame: Rock Chalk Naked Suspected Jerk Bites Police Dog

Behind the scenes . . .

The reason why any newsie gets into journalism is to report, blog and/or just share a "man bites dog" story. 

Social media is full of people & bots navel gazing, selling stumping and peddling some pathetic facimilie of influence.

However, those who are skilled in the nearly lost art & science of journalism know that MAN BITES DOG stories occupy a special place in the community discourse.

And so, because we love our readers, we highlight and share this notable somewhat local report of a shocking disturbance . . . Check-it . . .

"The Lawrence, Kansas, Police Department says that just before 3 p.m. on Wednesday, May 7, emergency crews were called to the Casey’s General Store at 1703 W. 6th St. with reports of a trespasser. Callers reported that a homeless man with a dog refused to leave the business’s restroom.

"When first responders arrived, they said they found the man naked and touching himself. When he refused to stop, they attempted to arrest him, but he began to fight them off.

"Ultimately, law enforcement officials said the man was tased twice but continued to fight. He was eventually placed in handcuffs but continued to resist. While still in the cramped bathroom, he bit onto his dog’s ear and neck and refused to let go.

"As more investigators arrived, they said they were able to subdue the suspect and take him to a nearby hospital for evaluation. Once he is released, he is expected to be booked into the Douglas County Correctional Facility on a slew of charges."
