Lake County Sheriff’s K9 Danno was the initial police unit that secured a Beach Park man as he was taken into custody, accused of hitting and choking a woman.
Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched about 6:45 p.m. Saturday, August 31, 2024 to report of a domestic battery in progress at a manufactured home in the 38700 block of North Sheridan Road, Beach Park. The 911 caller informed sheriff’s telecommunicators that her boyfriend hit and choked her. The victim was able to exit the home and sheriff’s deputies established a perimeter around it.
Shortly after establishing the perimeter, the suspect, Ruben Ruiz, 26, of same residence, attempted to escape out of a window, but retreated when he saw sheriff’s deputies. Sheriff’s deputies, along with K9 Danno entered the home to arrest Ruiz. Ruiz hid under a bed and refused to follow the instructions from sheriff’s deputies. Ruiz was warned that if he did not surrender, K9 Danno would be released. Ruiz continued his refusal to surrender and K9 Danno was released. K9 Danno bit Ruiz’ arm and he then surrendered.
Ruiz was evaluated by paramedics for the dog bite, and was transported to the Lake County Jail.
After reviewing the facts and circumstances of the incident, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office charged Ruiz with two counts of …
domestic battery and
obstructing a peace officer.
Ruiz is due in First Appearance Court Sunday morning, September 1, 2024.
All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
