Louisville man accused of ordering dog to attack officers
A Louisville man faces multiple charges after allegedly fleeing, fighting and ordering his dog to attack Louisville Metro Police officers.
The officers, from the Third Division, were treated for cuts at University Hospital, police spokesman Dwight Mitchell said.
Michael C. Miller, 44, was arrested and faces charges that include first-degree wanton endangerment against a police officer, third-degree assault against a police officer, first-degree fleeing or evading police in a motor vehicle and on foot, according to an arrest slip.
Miller was also treated at University Hospital for injuries sustained in the scuffle with police and released, Mitchell said.
An officer tried to stop a Nissan pickup driven by Miller on Bruce Avenue about 11:30 p.m. Sunday after seeing the truck operator driving in both lanes, speeding and committing other traffic violations, the arrest slip said.
The officer activated the siren and emergency signals, but the truck driver did not stop; instead he continued to the driveway of Miller’s home in the 1100 block of Cristland Road, the arrest slip said.
In the driveway, Miller tried to get into the house, according to the arrest slip. Miller is accused of struggling with the officer as he tried to put handcuffs on him. An attempt to use a Taser gun didn’t stop him, the arrest slip said.
Miller is accused of punching the officer, according to the arrest slip. When the second officer arrived, Miller reportedly commanded what police described as a pit bull to “get him,” leading the dog to bite both officers, the arrest slip said.
An officer fatally shot the dog, Mitchell said.
More officers responded to the melee, and four were required to subdue and arrest Miller, Mitchell said.
Before he was finally arrested, Miller reportedly pulled one of the officer’s gun from his hand, the arrest slip said.
Miller smelled “strongly” of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes, according to the arrest slip. He was also charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the arrest slip said.
Mitchell declined to release the names of the officers.
Mugshot of the Day: Police Catch an Arsonist Because He's Cross-Eyed:

--And as the cops reviewed the security footage, they noticed the arsonist had one very distinctive feature . . . he was INCREDIBLY CROSS-EYED.
--They used that information to track him down. He was arrested for arson . . . and now, he's been sentenced to eight years in prison.
Two Women Start a Fight After No One Gives Them Beer Money for Flashing Their Breasts . . . Their Mugshots Explain Everything:
Last week, in St. James City, Florida, 28-year-old Alicia Martin and 23-year-old Kathryn Rayannic were drinking heavily at a bar called The Waterfront. They eventually ran out of money . . . but wanted to keep drinking.

--Anyway, other customers started telling them to stop harassing everyone . . . and that's when Alicia and Kathryn turned VIOLENT.
--They shoved and punched one female employee . . . and Alicia PULLED A KNIFE on a male employee who tried to get them to stop.

A Man Tries to Move an Ambulance Blocking His Car . . . While Paramedics Were Loading a Patient:
Look, we've all been there. You've parked somewhere, some a-hole blocks your car in, and you just want to lift his car up and crush it into a cube for revenge. But normally, that car isn't an AMBULANCE responding to an emergency.
--On Saturday, 65-year-old Warren F. Melamed of Brentwood, Tennessee went to his car and found he was being blocked in by an ambulance. An ambulance where paramedics were LOADING IN a patient. But that wasn't enough to stop his rage.
--He actually got in the driver's seat of the ambulance, started it, and tried to MOVE IT out of the way. Again, this is WHILE the paramedics were loading someone in.
--Fortunately, the paramedics heard the engine start and ran up to the front to stop him from hijacking their ambulance before he could drive it off. The patient wasn't injured in the process.
--Warren was arrested and charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle.
--And he should've known better . . . Warren's a DENTIST. Which isn't a real doctor, sure . . . but at least should make him sympathetic to patients
