Utah man sues Salt Lake City police for ordering dog to attack after he was already cooperating

The officer who ordered the bite currently faces two felony assault charges for K-9 attacks.

(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) "I was like a chew toy," said Jeffery Ryans about the night his left leg was damaged by a Salt Lake City police dog, while discussing his case in his attorneys office on Aug. 5, 2020. Ryans is now suing Salt Lake City police after he says officers used excessive force when they commanded a police dog to attack him repeatedly while he was on his knees with his hands in the air.
