TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa Police arrest a man who they say broke into someone’s house, bit a police officer, and punched a police dog early Monday morning.
Police say a little after Midnight on Monday, 47-year-old Alvin Basham broke into a home near 21st and Mingo and was shot by a man who lives there.
They say Basham ran but dropped his wallet at the scene.
Police say they caught up to Basham not far away.
They say he was bleeding from the gunshot wound but still resisting arrest, punching a K-9 dog, and biting, scratching, and spitting at the officers who were taking him into custody.
They say Basham was taken to a hospital for treatment and will be booked on charges of first-degree burglary, assault and battery on a police officer, and resisting arrest once he’s discharged from the hospital.
Court documents show that Basham has an extensive criminal history that includes burglaries and assaults on police.
