A spokesman for U.S. Attorney John Lausch did not immediately respond to a question about the dog’s condition.Johnson was arrested after the shooting and held without bond on state charges for attempted murder, injuring a police animal and aggravated cruelty to animals. A federal criminal complaint was entered Friday charging Johnson with assaulting a federal officer and violating weapons laws.
