Update #2: Dog shot during high-risk drug warrants
Three men have now been charged in connection with a dial-a-dope operation which culminated in high-risk warrants on two homes yesterday morning.
During the execution of one of the warrants, in the 2300 block of 19 Street S.W., a tactical team member was injured after being attacked by a pitbull-type dog. The dog was shot and killed by another officer. The injured officer was treated in hospital and required more than a dozen stitches to close the bite wound.
A second warrant in the 200 block of Coral Springs Circle N.E., was executed a short time later.
After searches of the homes, the following was seized:
- Approximately 1.8 kilograms of marijuana, worth an estimated $18,000
- More than $1,000 in cocaine
- $14,565 in cash
- As well as various amounts of steroids
