John Mays sent me this story about an interesting incident in his home town of Chattanooga. When police tried to stop 21-year-old John Nicholas Hood for a broken tail light, he leaped out of the car and ran into the woods. Hamilton County Sheriff's Deputies Henry Ritter and Richard Gough didn't have too much trouble getting the dimwitted suspect to come back out though.

The officers' calls to Hood went unanswered so Gough said they were sending a dog after him. Ritter started barking.

"He stood up and said, 'I'm here. Call off the dog,"' Ritter said.

The AP also notes that although Deputy Ritter barked at the suspect to get him to give himself up, he had no intention of biting him.
