Woman's outfit blamed for police-dog bite -
Police in Cincinnati say one of their dogs mistakenly bit a city parks employee because of what she was wearing.
Police Sgt. Daniel Hils says when the officer assigned to Tank let him loose for a call of nature, the dog saw the woman in dark overalls resembling the K-9 training "bite suit" -- and reacted.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports Jamila Turnbow got a 3-inch cut on her upper right arm from the attack on July 25.
Hils writes in a memo to police higher-ups that Turnbow's attire and the dog's response doesn't excuse what he describes as the K-9 officer's "lack of attention and control of his canine partner." Hils is recommending a reprimand and has ordered that police dogs not be allowed off leash in public.
