Court says OPD officer used excessive force during K-9 attack

Colin Edwards ran away from Orlando police during a traffic stop and ended up with a K-9 bite so severe that he underwent surgery, was hospitalized for six days and now has a deformed leg.

Edwards filed suit against the K-9’s handler and another officer in Orlando federal court, where a judge ruled both officers were immune from being sued and closed the case.
