Man Allegedly Tried to Choke Police Dog

A Jamestown man is jail after allegedly trying to choke a police dog during a chase last night in the city.

Police say at around 10:15 they stopped a vehicle driven by Curtis Nance Jr. and learned he was driving on a revoked license. During the stop they also saw drugs in the center console. When they asked Nance to get out of the vehicle he started fighting with officers, and then ran away. They caught up with him, and he continued to fight, so they let their K9 officer loose. The dog took Nance to the ground, and that’s when he tried to choke the dog.

Police then used a Taser on Nance and were able to take him into custody. He was first taken to WCA Hospital for treatment of injuries from the Taser and the dog.

He’s facing a number of charges including assault, criminal possession of a controlled substance, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration.
