Deputies have shot and killed two dogs on the city’s west side.
The Fayette County Sheriff’s office was conducting a raid at 812 Delaware Street shortly before 9 p.m. on Thursday on suspected drug activity when sources say the dogs became vicious.
They were allegedly attempting to attack the Sheriff’s K-9, Ben.
Deputies shot and killed the dogs before taking three people into custody.
Ben was taken to Fayette Veterinary Hospital for his injuries. A deputy was also injured in the raid and was taken to an area hospital.
During the search, substances believed to be heroin and crack cocaine, firearms, drug abuse instruments, an undisclosed amount of cash and stolen property were recovered.
Robert McClendon was taken into custody and charged with possession of drugs, Sara Johnson was charged with possession of drug abuse instruments, and Randy Ruth was charged with possession of drugs.
Charges are pending against McClendon and others and Fayette Advocate is working our sources to gather more details.
