DETAILS:
On 12/13/2010, at approximately 3:30 PM, Officers from the Oxnard Police Department were serving an arrest warrant at a home in the 3300 block of Clinton Street, Oxnard. Adair Dzul, the wanted subject, fled from the residence toward an alley behind the home. An Officer was standing in the alley when he observed Dzul open the rear gate in an attempt to escape. When Dzul saw the officer, he fled back into the residence leaving the rear gate open. As the officer attempted to follow Dzul, but not yet making entry into the rear yard of the residence, he was confronted by two pit-bull dogs. The officer was still in the alley when the dogs quickly advanced at him in a very aggressive manner. The officer retreated, but the dogs continued to charge at him. The officer removed his service weapon and fired two rounds, striking each dog once in an attempt to stop their aggressive attack. One of the dogs was deceased at the scene. The other dog was taken by Oxnard Animal Safety Officers for medical treatment. Dzul surrendered to officers and was booked into the Ventura County Jail for the arrest warrant.
