There are new details in the case of a Brentwood Police Department canine that ripped the scalp off a woman suspected of shoplifting. She’s suing the police canine handler and city.

“The dog is biting me,” Bates could be heard screaming in police body worn camera video.
“I was just a regular person like everybody else, trying to make away and it escalated,” said Bates.
