Ohio officer under investigation after letting K9 attack surrendering suspect

An investigation has been launched into an incident in which a Circleville, Ohio police officer released a K9 on a surrendering suspect.

State troopers were called in to help with the chase, authorities said. The driver, Jadarrius Rose, 23, of Memphis, Tennessee, who is Black, initially refused to get out of the truck and later defied directives to get on the ground, according to a Ohio State Highway Patrol incident report made available to The Associated Press, along with the body cam video.

"The suspect failed to stop for marked patrol units with lights and sirens activated," the incident report said. He eventually got on his knees and raised his hands in the air.
