Man Allegedly Orders Dog To Attack Officers

{Louisville, Kentucky}...Michael C. Miller, 44, of Louisville, faces multiple charges after allegedly fleeing, fighting and ordering his dog to attack Louisville Metro Police officers, who were treated for cuts at University Hospital. An officer tried to stop a Nissan pickup driven by Miller on Bruce Avenue about 11:30 P.M. Sunday after seeing Miller driving in both lanes, speeding and committing other traffic violations, but Miller continued to drive until he reached the driveway of his home, where he tried to get into the house. Miller is accused of struggling with the officer as he tried to arrest him. An attempt to use a Taser gun didn’t stop Miller. When a second officer arrived, Miller reportedly commanded what police described as a pit bull to “get him,” leading the dog to bite both officers. An officer fatally shot the dog before more officers responded to the scene. Before he was finally arrested, Miller reportedly pulled a gun from one of the officer’s hand.
