Man Bites Dog

West Haven, CT – Officer Scott Bloom was on patrol with his K-9 partner, Onyx, early Thursday morning when a man started walking toward him, repeatedly yelling, “I need a bag of dust!” As the man approached, he reportedly reached into his waistband – unsure if the tard was carrying more than just a peener in his pants, Officer Bloom grabbed his arm and demanded that he cease and desist. The man, later identified as 23-year-old Roderick Lewis, told the officer, “You’re not stronger than me,” and punched him in the face. Right about then, Onyx jumped out of the patrol car and attacked, latching on to Lewis’ leg. During the ensuing struggle, Lewis allegedly clamped down on the dog’s side with his teeth and refused to let go until Officer Bloom physically pulled him off. After a quick trip to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries, Lewis was hauled off to jail and booked on charges of animal cruelty, assault on a police officer and disorderly conduct. Bloom and Onyx were also treated and released. Police believe drugs may have been a factor in the incident. Shocking, I know.
