Gainesville man charged with telling police dog to sit




Ok, we are stretching the transportation theme a bit here, but this is too odd of a story to ignore. Since I am in the process of training my recently rescued dog, I have to admit I never thought to try commands on other trained dogs, nonetheless a police dog. Even the mug shot is awesome with a “was that wrong” look on his face. Looks like they threw the book at him as he was charged with numerous offenses including striking an animal, drugs possession. refusal to sign a citation and more.


Quote from the article:

A police dog was brought to the scene to walk around Porter's car to determine if there was probable cause to search the car for drugs.

According to Blizzard's report, Porter "began stating loud commands to 'sit' and 'sitz,' which interrupted the K9 from his duties. The K9 stopped twice while walking the vehicle and looking in the direction of (Porter) who was giving those commands."
