MAN BITES DOG, GOES TO JAIL

A CHP chase of a stolen car across Bakersfield has landed a man in jail for assault on a Sheriff’s K-9 and several other charges. Deputies say 41-year-old Jared Allen put K-9 Officer Zeke in a choke-hold Tuesday in front of Adventist Health Hospital downtown, and then bit the dog under the left eye. The hospital was put on lockdown until Allen’s arrest, Zeke has just minor injuries and is doing fine.
