A Black teen, Devondrea Williams, told KMOV that police sicced a dog on him after the driver of a truck he was riding in was pulled over in Granite City, Illinois:
I see him reaching for his handcuffs, so I go to put my hand like this and then he grabs my arm aggressively. I look at him and then two other cops get pushing me. They push me onto the truck, and then I see the dog out of the corner of my eye and then the dog bites me. He bit me like I think five times.
Williams said he police never informed the driver why he was pulled over, but his cousin was allegedly involved in a fight.
Regeana Canada, who witnessed the incident, said the dog latched onto Williams for about 8 minutes and that police had to tase the dog in order to get it to let go:
I’m not anti-police, there’s just some questions about that particular incident I would like answered because I don’t understand why the dog got let loose. No, he did not resist arrest at all.
