ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A suspected robber is recovering Monday after a police dog bit him in the crotch, severing his penis, according to a Local 6 News report.
Authorities said that three men walked into the At Cost Liquor Store in Pinellas County, Fla., and allegedly stole a pack of cigarettes.
A store worker reportedly chased the men outside and wrote down the license plate number of the suspects' car.
After a brief chase, the men crashed their car and ran.
Police said that a K-9 named "Scooby" caught up with one of the alleged suspects. The dog first bit the suspect on the buttocks and then bit him in the crotch, severing his penis, according to police.
The suspect was rushed to a local hospital where doctors reattached the suspect's penis.
