A 53-year-old man who barricaded himself inside the garage of an Ingleside home surrendered to police after being bitten by police dog Dax
A person living on the 35600 block of North Lake Drive in Ingleside informed police the man, identified as Richard C. Huhn, entered their home and threatened to kill them, Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli said Tuesday.
Police arrived at the home around 1:05 a.m. and tried to speak to Huhn who was in the home's garage and had placed objects by the side door to the garage to barricade himself inside, Covelli said. Sheriff's deputies used a ram to force the door open, entered the garage and found Huhn hiding under a bench. Covelli said deputies told him to surrender and warned him they would release Dax on him if he didn't.
Huhn then surrendered. Dax's handler Deputy John Forlenza ordered the dog to release Huhn's leg and he was taken into custody, Covelli said."Our canines are a tool we're able to utilize in situations such as this, where someone is committing a crime and threatening violence, to help prevent the deputies from being injured," Covelli said.
