Apparently a dog's loyalty has it's limits.
As Avery Davis ran from Riviera Beach police officers Monday morning, he released his pit bull and directed the animal to attack the officers, according to authorities.
However, the dog apparently had other ideas.
Davis pit bull bit him in the buttocks and tried to bite his head before Davis ran and hid in a nearby apartment complex, according to a police arrest report made public Tuesday.
The 26-year-old Riviera Beach man eventually was caught in the 1500 block of West 29th Street. He was arrested on two counts of aggravated assault on a law-enforcement officer and one count resisting an officer with violence. He remained in custody Tuesday at the Palm Beach County Jail.
The scene reportedly unfolded shortly before 8 a.m. Monday.
According to the report, police officers were in the area investigating a reported burglary in the 2300 block of Avenue S. Officers observed Davis, who matched the description of the suspect. He reportedly was carrying hair care products.
Officers ordered Davis to lay on the ground. He did so while hugging the dog. Davis reportedly told officers, Yall gonna have to kill us before getting up and running away.
An officer fired a stun at Davis, temporarily knocking him back to the ground. Davis reportedly got up and ran again. As officers pursued, Davis released the dog from its leash and yelled, Kill em boy, kill em, while pointing at the officers, the report said.
Officers later found Davis hiding under an SUV in an apartment complex on Avenue R. He ran again but was caught on West 29th Street. Davis was treated at St. Marys Medical Center in West Palm Beach and then released into police custody.
