Chased to the river, fleeing burglary suspect says: Call off the dog!

A 29-year-old River Falls man pursued for an apartment burglary after 3 a.m. Friday, July 6, yelled to law enforcement officers in the distance that he didn’t want to be bitten. A St. Croix County police dog had the man cornered in the thick brush not far from the South Fork River on campus. The officers shouted back to the cornered suspect: Stay put and keep your hands up until we get there.
