A Saskatoon police dog had to put the bite on a driver after he allegedly refused to stop for police. It started when an officer saw the driver shouting at a woman early Monday morning at 20th Street West and Avenue G South.
When the officer tried to stop the white GMC half-ton truck, the driver took off. He attempted to evade the officer by heading the wrong way on 22nd Street at excessive speeds.
