Police Car Attacked By Bulldog, Bumper Chewed Off
It was a bizarre afternoon for one Chattanooga police officer. While running radar at 1410 Workman Road, a Officer Clayton Holmes’s patrol car was attacked and heavily damaged by a bulldog.
Holmes says he had been running radar and stopped to work on a report when he felt his car shaking. He got out to investigate and what he found was a bulldog chewing on his patrol car.
The dog chewed two tires and the entire front bumper off of the car.
The dog also attacked two cars belonging to private citizens driving by and a second police car that arrived on scene during the incident.
O.C. spray and the taser was used on the dog, but nothing stopped it.
McKamey Animal Center personnel responded to the scene and managed to capture the bulldog along with two other dogs with it. The dogs were kept inside the fenced property at Mann’s Welding, but managed to get out.
The owner of the dogs, Nancy Emerling, was cited by McKamey and all three dogs were removed from the property.
