Florida K-9 helps apprehend suspect attempting to evade police in stolen car

A Florida man with a lengthy arrest record was taken down by a K-9 after trying to flee from police in a stolen car. He was given medical treatment for the K-9 bite.

About an hour after Shrewsbury took the vehicle, police attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The suspect then tried to flee as officers pursued. Deputies from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office soon joined in the chase that took place across several roads throughout the city of Ocala and Marion County.

Police said Shrewsbury was driving recklessly to avoid arrest, running several cars off the road and hitting a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission patrol vehicle.
