Man Told Police He 'Didn't Care If Police Dog Died': Report

RACINE, WI — A man suspected of selling drugs out of his Racine-area home was arrested this week, but not before he told officers that he did not care whether a drug-sniffing dog deployed during the course of a court-approved search ended up dying as a result of the search.

Authorities say that man, Jonathan Harris, has been arrested and now faces multiple drug charges. He's being held in the Racine County Jail on a $25,000 cash bond.

According to Racine County Sheriff's officials, agents executed a search warrant at Harris' apartment on the 1800 block of Douglas Ave. in Racine at 6 a.m. Wednesday on suspicion that he was involved in selling heroin and crack cocaine.

Sheriff's officials said just before a police K-9 handler brought in a drug-sniffing dog Harris said, "[expletive] you and your dog, I don’t give a [expletive] if the dog dies."

When authorities searched through several rooms, they found 11.4 grams of heroin, 9.9 grams of crack cocaine which was packaged in seven separate baggie corners, 6.9 grams of powder cocaine, one gram of ecstacy, a loaded handgun, additional gun magazines for different caliber guns, two digital scales, cell phone, a pill press, possession of a fake identification card from California and $1,346.00 in us currency, according to a news release.

Harris is due in court on Dec. 26 for his preliminary hearing.
