The engine had been left running and the front passenger side door was open. Police observed what appeared to be a male person running into an apartment complex, Sgt Caldwell said. The court heard a police dog was deployed, tracking from the crashed Nissan to another car parked at the complex. The police dog bit, on the left upper leg, (Mafi) who was hiding under the vehicle, Sgt Caldwell said. The court heard Mafi was questioned by police and his wound was tended to by first aid. He claimed he hadn t driven the car but told police two different versions of his story, each time naming a different driver.
