Polk County Florida Sheriff’s K-9 Recovering From Stab Wounds

We are happy to report that PCSO K-9 Vise is expected to recover from being violently attacked this past weekend.

He was stabbed multiple times by a violent felon who broke into a home in Lakeland, armed with a lug wrench. The victims, luckily, were able to run outside and dial 9-1-1.

Meanwhile, the suspect armed himself with a knife from their kitchen, and barricaded himself in their master bedroom.

“These deputies and the canine risked their lives to get an armed and dangerous, drug-induced suspect out of the victims’ house. We are grateful that Vise will make a full recovery and that Deputy Cronin and the other two deputies weren’t more seriously injured in this violent attack.

This felon was clearly in some sort of drug-induced rage, and preliminarily it appears he was suffering from excited delirium.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff
