A Sacramento police officer was bitten by a West Sacramento Police Department K-9 early Wednesday while officers searched for a suspect who fled from a U-Haul truck, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Sacramento police officers spotted a reckless driver in a U-Haul rental truck near 24th Street and 68th Avenue about 2:45 a.m., Sacramento police spokesperson Officer Anthony Gamble said.<\/p>\n
Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the occupants abandoned the truck near 24th Street and 51st Avenue and ran, jumping fences as they tried to escape, Gamble said.<\/p>\n
Police established a perimeter and requested assistance from the West Sacramento Police Department K-9 unit. During the search, the police dog bit a Sacramento officer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe officer sustained a dog bite and has been transported to an area hospital for treatment,\u201d Gamble said.<\/p>\n
Police did not immediately release details about the officer\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n
Officers arrested Jesus Roberto Aguilar, 20, of Sacramento.<\/p>\n
Aguilar was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on suspicion of evading a peace officer by driving against traffic, possession of burglar\u2019s tools, hit-and-run causing property damage and resisting an officer.<\/p>\n
He was also booked on fresh charges of felony vandalism, battery against a former dating partner and willful disobedience of a court order.<\/p>\n
In addition, Aguilar was arrested on a no-bail felony warrant in a 2024 burglary case, according to jail records.<\/p>\n
Because of the no-bail warrant, Aguilar was ineligible for release pending his arraignment, which is scheduled for Friday in Sacramento Superior Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Sacramento police officer was bitten by a West Sacramento Police Department K-9 early Wednesday while officers searched…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314796,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[100861,2322,2325,131557,121,123,122,9123],"class_list":["post-314795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-anthony-gamble","tag-officer","tag-police-officer","tag-roberto-aguilar","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news","tag-sacramento-police"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314795\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
