9-year prison sentence for man who stabbed 2 San Diego police dogs months apart [Breaking]
A man who stabbed two San Diego police dogs within a year was sentenced Thursday to nine years in state prison.
In both instances, Jones had been in a standoff with San Diego police when officers released a dog, which Jones then stabbed.Both dogs survived the attacks, though Titan has since died, according to Deputy District Attorney Clay Biddle. The prosecutor said Titan’s death “is not directly related” to the stabbing, but has not been ruled out as a contributing factor.He was convicted of brandishing a knife, but jurors did not reach verdicts on several other counts.
Lainez also said the police call that led to Hondo’s stabbing was based on a false report that Jones had vandalized a person’s car. Biddle argued Thursday for a sentence of just over 12 years in prison, telling the judge that Jones has a ``long and violent criminal history’’ that includes punching a police officer in the face in Florida in 2012.
