TX Man Who Stabbed Police Dog Sought in Father's Death

Over the weekend, police had charged 26-year-old Smith with evading arrest, interference with a police service animal and robbery bodily injury following the attempted carjacking. Police found Smith in a nearby parking garage where he attempted to evade officers. Police dog Nate was able to catch up with Smith behind a building, KHOU reported. HPD said that's when Smith stabbed Nate, who is expected to make a full recovery.

Houston Police are now looking for a man, who had been charged in the stabbing of a police dog Saturday, in connection with the death of his father.

Police told the Associated Press  that Ryan Mitchell Smith is considered a person of interest in his father’s death. He had been free on bond after being arrested Saturday for allegedly taking part in an attempted carjacking and stabbing a police dog during his arrest. Police say Smith led police on a chase early Tuesday as they sought to question him over his missing father. Officers resumed their search after losing track of Smith and found his father’s body in the garage.
