FLORIDA PERSONAL INJURY BLOG: Sarasota Sued By Man Who’s Autistic Daughter Was Attacked By A Police Dog
The father of a 12-year-old autistic girl that was attacked by a Sarasota Police dog has filed a law suit against the City of Sarasota and the police officer who was the dog’s handler. Ray Berk is asking for more than the $15,000 the city already offered him. The family is seeking at least $89,000 after their daughter received 14 stitches and has permanent physical and mental scarring from the incident according to her family.
The girl, Angela Berk, was riding a scooter behind K-9 officer Sean Gleason’s cruiser as he was putting his dog Aries in the car for their shift. The German Sheppard attacked the young girl before the officer could get the dog called off the young girl. The family is claiming the dog was not handled properly and an expert quoted in a story on HeraldTribune.com agrees with the family’s claim.
