LUCERNE, Calif. – A Lucerne man who resisted arrest and fought with a deputy on Tuesday was finally arrested with the help of a sheriff’s K9.
Michael Sean Shaffer, 27, was arrested for a felony parole violation and resisting arrest, according to his booking sheet.
At approximately 11:45 p.m. Tuesday Lake County Sheriff’s deputies and a K9 responded to an address on Ogden Road in Lucerne in an attempt to contact Shaffer, who had a felony arrest warrant, according to Sgt. Steve Brooks of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Brooks said Shaffer is a known escape risk and had a history of resisting arrest and possessing prohibited weapons.
When deputies knocked on the door of the Ogden Road home and announced themselves, Shaffer exited the house and started running toward Country Club Drive, Brooks said.
The K9 deputy identified himself and told Shaffer to stop or he was going to send the dog. Brooks said Shaffer continued to run and the deputy deployed his K9.
The K9 engaged Shaffer as he collided with a garbage can and fell to the ground. Brooks said Shaffer continued to resist as the deputy struggled to gain control of his hands.
The K9 engaged Shaffer again and he was taken into custody moments later, Brooks said.
Shaffer was transported to the hospital where he received medical treatment for some abrasions, puncture wounds and a laceration behind his right ear which required several stitches, according to Brooks.
Brooks said Shaffer was arrested and transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility and booked.
Shaffer remained in custody on Wednesday due to a no bail hold, according to his booking records.
