(June 4) - A man suspected of assaulting his girlfriend set two fires and bit a dog on the head as he tried to escape from police, the authorities said. Jeffrey Scott Sernett, 23, of Bend was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of assault, reckless burning, interfering with a police animal and resisting arrest. The incident started when authorities received a call that a man would not leave a woman's home. By the time police arrived, Sernett had assaulted his girlfriend, Bend Police Lt. Jerry Stone said. Sernett ran from the home and set two grass fires, which were extinguished with garden hoses, Stone said. Police late found Sernett hiding in an area filled with empty pipes. Sernett, who was yelling profanities at the officers, refused to surrender. "He was given several opportunities to come out of the pipe and he basically signaled with his middle finger," Stone said. A police dog named Amor was sent in to retrieve Sernett and bit the suspect in the leg. Sernett responded by lifting the dog off the ground and biting him on the head, Stone said. Sernett was arrested and taken to St. Charles Medical Center, where he was treated for the bite wound and released. Amor suffered a minor head injury. Sernett was booked in the Deschutes County Jail, where his bail was set at $12,500.They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
