BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) -- The city is facing legal action after a Bakersfield police officer in June allegedly urged a police dog to attack a burglary suspect who was no longer resisting. A claim alleging excessive force has been filed by the suspect, who said Officer Anthony Berumen "purposely made the K-9 officer try to bite me multiple times when I was cornered in a bathroom with my hands in the air." Attorney crashed into CHP vehicle, knocking it into Explorer volunteers: docs She alleges in the claim -- a precursor to a lawsuit -- that Berumen urged the dog, Atlas, "to bite me all over my body" and forced her foot into the animal's mouth when he didn't obey. She suffered back and hip injuries and a cut to her right arm, according to the claim, as well as mental and emotional distress. A dollar amount wasn't attached to the claim, which says costs are "pending further discovery and treatment." An investigation by the Bakersfield Police Department determined an "unnecessary and unreasonable" use of force occurred during the June 7 incident at the Blanco Hotel on White Lane. Berumen was charged with misdemeanor assault by a public officer and has a hearing Friday. Police were called to a report of a burglary in progress and told a woman had broken into a room and damaged property. Officers ordered her to surrender. She refused and threw glass bottles at them then barricaded herself in a bathroom, according to a department release. Officers forced their way in and Berumen released Atlas. Court documents describe how body-worn camera footage shows Berumen repeatedly give commands for the dog to attack despite the woman no longer resisting. A sergeant told investigators it appeared Berumen was trying to “feed” the suspect’s extremities to Atlas — including an arm, leg and foot -- but the dog wouldn't bite.
