“None of the officers were injured and the suspect was transported to the hospital for evaluation after sustaining a dog bite,” the agency’s post said early Sunday morning, commending Tucker Precinct cops for the arrest. “Once cleared from the hospital, he will be transported to the DeKalb Jail pending extradition back to Lexington.”
