Circleville, Ohio police officer Ryan Speakman was placed on paid administrative leave after a police dog attack led to the hospitalization of a truck driver.
Speakman deployed his police dog following a lengthy pursuit on July 4 that involved troopers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol and ended in Circleville. Both the pursuit and the ensuing attack were captured on a police body camera.
The chase began when troopers tried to stop a commercial semitruck that was missing a mudflap and failed to halt for an inspection, according to a Ohio State Highway Patrol incident report. The nearby Circleville Police Department was called to assist, including a K9 police dog, authorities said.
