CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- Henry Ritter had no plans of biting a suspect he was chasing, but he saw nothing wrong with barking.

Ritter and Richard Gough, both deputies with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department, stopped a car July 12 because of a broken taillight. The driver, 21-year-old John Nicholas Hood, jumped from the car and ran into the woods, according to the arrest report.

That was ruff.

(And probably embarassing, too! "How'd you get caught?" "The cop faked a dog!")

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

Something tells me Officer Ritter's co-workers will NEVER let him forget this. This is bound to be the subject for an unlimited number of practical jokes, pranks, you name it. What are the chances that he has already come to work and foudn a dog bowl on his desk? I'd say they probably approach 100%. LOL.

Ritter started barking.

Unfortunately, he sounded like a yapping Yorkie Terrier.

Uh oh, depending on the pigmentation of the perp and officer, I smell a civil rights violation suit in the offing. "I was scared, thoughts of those dogs in Birmingham during the 60's keep going through my head", the perp said.

On second thought, the pigmentation of the officer does not matter. If it matches the perp, then obviously the officer is not the right kind of "pigmentated individual" a la Powell, Rice, Thomas, etc.
