In downtown San Diego, 20-year-old Lathapoun Keovongsa allegedly attacked a parking attendant with a broken wooden cane handle, causing head lacerations, before officers found him armed with a six-foot stick. He ignored commands and non-lethal rounds, prompting the K9 deployment that bit his arm and enabled his arrest on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest. Online reactions mix praise for the dog's quick action with questions about the multiple armed officers on site and police tactics.
