Dog bites Church Pt. officer

A Church Point Police Department officer was treated for a dog bite that left him with a serious hip wound last week.
The reserve officer was bitten by the dog while trying to chase a suspect on foot after an unsuccessful traffic stop.
According to police, the suspect was apprehended and the officer was taken to Acadia St. Landry Hospital for medical treatment.
Reports indicate that the officer required 10 staples to the wound and that the dog was impounded by animal control due to lack of a shot record.
