Abbeville Police went to arrest a subject on 11 warrants and in addition he had SORNA violation. ( SORNA – Sex Offender Registration and Notification ). The subject ran inside the house. Multiple law enforcement officers surrounded the house. The SRT unit was dispatched. In the meantime Dothan Police was mutual aid for an apprehension dog. Rather than gassing the house law enforcement placed the apprehension K-9 in the attic. Well – the dog got his bite! And the suspect realized, OOPS!!!! it would have been less painful to give up that this K-9 apprehended.
The subject is now in the Henry County Jail.
