AURORA — Aurora police have removed a K9 dog from duty after the animal bit the wrong person during a foot pursuit, a police spokesman told 9News. The incident happened Saturday about 4:30 p.m. near Boston Street and East Colfax Avenue, police Detective Bob Friel said.
Police had surrounded a room at the Carriage Motor Inn to arrest Reginald Hawthorne, 21, on a warrant for sexual assault, Friel told the television station.
When Hawthorne ran from the motel, police sent a K9 dog after him, 9News said, but the dog bit Juan Ramirez as he worked outside his taco stand a block from the motel.
Ramirez is recovering from bite and scratch injuries, 9News said. Police are conducting a review.
