K-9 Cop Arraigned On Assault Charge In Arrest Incident In Michigan

A Michigan state trooper has been arraigned with felony charges of assault for allowing a police K-9 to feast on a suspect last September according to this story and this one. Michigan State Police Director Joe Gasper said that trooper Parker Surbrook's actions during the arrest were "totally unacceptable". The supervisor who initiated the investigation of the incident "immediately recognized multiple policy violations" and filed a complaint.

Once again, failure to follow police policies were initially the central issue in the affair, not a violation of the law.
