... The incident occurred at approximately 11:30 p.m. on Saturday night when police in Springfield, Colorado, conducted a traffic stop after they witnessed a driver going 52 mph in a 30 mph zone....
"The driver attempted to switch places with his dog who was in the passenger seat, as the SPD officer approached and watched the entire process," the statement read. "The male party then exited the passenger side of the vehicle and claimed he was not driving."
Authorities said that the suspect showed "clear signs of intoxication" and when the officer asked about his alcohol consumption that evening, the suspect made a run for it, though he didn't make it very far.
"The male party was apprehended quickly within about 20 yards of the vehicle," said the Springfield Police Department.
A good dog would have prevented the chase.
... Once arrested, it was discovered that the suspect also had two active warrants out for his arrest in Pueblo though police did not say what those outstanding warrants were for....
Meanwhile, the dog involved in the case was given to an acquaintance of the driver to take care of while he remains in jail with pending charges.
Said the Springfield Police Department, jokingly: "The dog does not face any charges and was let go with just a warning."
Lament the murder, not the murdered.

Well, here's something you don't see every day....Penn State professor busted doing sex acts with his dog in state park. This guy must be a Jerry Sandusky spinoff or worse.
... An RNC Research social media account, which claims to be “exposing” Biden, posted the damning footage of him being caught in the act of petting a dog
The White House quickly fired back.
“He’s petting one of the dogs that’s working hard searching for remains so survivors who’ve lost loved ones can have closure,” deputy press secretary Andrew Bates wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “This criticism is classless and stupid.”
Others also barked back:
he didn't get "distracted by a dog", you cold-hearted, soulless ghouls, he acknowledged a dog who is part of the rescue effort. who the fuck hurt you people anyway?
The RNC attacking Joe Biden for petting a dog that’s been searching a disaster site for human remains is one of the dumbest fucking things I’ve ever seen in politics
Is RNC Research run by cats?
A rescue dog deserves all the kindness and praise we can offer. Why do Republicans hate dogs, @RNCResearch @GOP?
If you don't get distracted by dogs you have a heart of stone.
But more to the point it's a search and rescue dog and he's asking if they have boots because the ground gets hot (which is 100% true), so maybe shut up on this one?
Attacking Biden for taking time to pet a dog is very politically savvy.
One or more people should lose their jobs, honest.
This is real. They think this makes Biden look bad. I literally went for a walk today and said ‘hi’ to every dog. No idea what their owners looked like.
The frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination has been impeached twice and indicted four times and this is how the RNC responds
Is we don’t like dogs a winning campaign strategy?
The president pet a dog? Impeach him
Thank you for exposing this...should be shown to every voter

Lulu has taken up bark to text. I was playing around with speech to text when a delivery person came onto the porch and Lulu started barking.
The software interpretation of Lulu barking,

Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

... According to the Broken Arrow Sentinel, and a press release from the Broken Arrow Police Department, Officer William Roy Golden faces charges of animal cruelty resulting in gross injury and outraging public decency filed on September 22.
The “outraging public decency” charge is in connection with the alleged “disturbing the public peace by unholstering a firearm and threatening to shoot” the bulldog.
... At some point, the dog named Rusty, jumped inside of Golden’s patrol car.
Awww.
The dog was not acting aggressively when the officer approached, and Golden was not able to explain why he became so angry during the incident of a loose dog.
He knows the reason, possibly frustration that the loose and frightened dog kept running away.
I thought it was a loop at first but it's 4 distinct flops. The Buddha-like hairless cat in the background is a nice touch.
