Twenty-six old Pennsylvania man, James Andrews was charged for provoking a police K-9. The police dog was a 7-year-old German Shepherd named Chaos.

Andrews of Cranberry Township was stopped and checked for alcohol influence at 2:40 a.m. on September 15. Later, he was accused of “barking, hissing and growling” at the dog, according to the K-9’s handler, Evan City police Sgt. Don Myers.

Here’s the summary by Newser: “A 26-year-old man who got stopped at a sobriety checkpoint in Pennsylvania thought it would be a good idea to start barking and growling at a police dog named Chaos, reports TribLive. Chaos started barking back, though his handler managed to keep him under control.”

Along with the felony with the police dog, he was also found guilty for driving drunk and without a license.

Inciting a K-9 dog is a felony and may result in seven years in prison.
