A drunk Delaware man allegedly injured two troopers and repeatedly bit a K9 while resisting arrest following a traffic stop Saturday, Delaware State Police (DSP) said.
State troopers pulled over Jamal Wing, 47, of Wilmington, who was allegedly speeding southbound on Philadelphia Pike near Rolling Road at about 1:41 a.m., according to a DSP press release. Wing “exited the car without being told and refused all commands to return to his car.” Wing “forcibly” resisted arrest and bit a K9, Mako, “multiple times” in the process. Troopers soon took him into custody, “smelled alcohol coming from his breath and detected signs of impairment.”
Emergency services personnel took Wing to a hospital for treatment of the injuries he sustained from resisting arrest. “At the hospital, Wing continued to resist and assaulted a trooper causing the trooper injury and damaging Delaware State Police property.” (RELATED: Louisiana Caregiver Charged With DWI In Patient’s Car While Elderly Woman Sat At Home In Her Own Feces And Urine)
