Takedown stems from road rage incident in which shotgun was allegedly cocked and pointed.

B.C.'s civilian-based police watchdog has cleared a Prince George RCMP officer of criminal wrongdoing over a decision to deploy a service dog in an arrest of a man who pointed a shotgun during a road rage incident.

Two RCMP officers were first on the scene with one pulling up to the scene as the suspect was walking along the driveway. Both officers drew their guns as they got out of their vehicles. The suspect, in turn, kept going, issuing an expletive to the officers. He did not get on the ground as ordered and instead said "come on, guys." At that point, an RCMP dog handler released his dog which bit the suspect on the right arm and took him to the ground.
