A viral video has shown moments when a black man identified as Jadarrius Rose, was attacked by a police dog after he was seen to have surrendered himself to the police.
According to the CNN, the incident took place on July 4 when the police tried to pull over a commercial semi-truck that failed to stop for an inspection.
The Ohio police in its report stated that Rose’s semi-tractor trailer “was missing a left rear mud flap.
Rose, who was said to have been driving west on U.S. Route 35, reportedly ignored the inspector and responding state troopers.
Troopers successfully employed stop sticks on Rose’s vehicle on two occasions, ultimately causing it to halt on U.S. Route 23.
According to the incident report, Rose informed a trooper, who was instructing him to exit his vehicle, that he was currently engaged in a phone call with 911.
“After several times of being ordered to exit the vehicle, the suspect exited the vehicle from the driver’s side door,” the incident report said. “The driver was given orders to get down on the ground and the suspect would not comply.”
In the video, Rose was observed standing before troopers with his hands raised.
A police officer who has a dog was heard telling Rose to “go on the ground or you’re gonna get bit.” Meanwhile, a trooper with the highway patrol tells Rose to “come to me.”
The video showed moment when the dog ran toward Rose, who comes to his knees after the police released the dog.
The video also showed moment when the dog bite and pulled Rose by his arm as he screams loudly.
“Get it off!” Rose screams repeatedly.
“Get the dog off of him!” a trooper yells.
Other officers can be heard calling for a first aid kit.
Rose was eventually taken into custody, and “troopers immediately provided first aid and contacted EMS to respond,” the highway patrol said in a statement.
According to the highway patrol, Rose was charged with a fourth-degree crime, failing to comply with an order or signal of a police officer, and she might spend up to 18 months behind bars. The following day, he was charged, and on July 7, he posted bail.
In response to a request for assistance from the highway patrol, the Circleville Police K9 team was called to the scene of the July 4 incident, according to a statement from Mayor Don McIlroy and Police Chief G. Shawn Baer.
“In compliance with Circleville Police Department Policy, a Use of Force Review Board was convened immediately and is reviewing the incident,” the statement read. “During the week of July 31, 2023, the findings of the Use of Force Review Board will be provided.”
The highway patrol clarified that “the canine involved in the incident is from the Circleville Police Department and not the Ohio State Highway Patrol.”
