After leading an Oakland County sheriff's deputy on a high-speed chase 
Thursday, a burly contractor got out of his pickup and attacked the officer with his 
tiny French poodle, swinging the dog on his leash. 
"I've seen people ram cars. I've seen people fight," Oakland County Sheriff 
Michael Bouchard said. "But to take a poodle on a leash and make it a weapon -- 
that's a new extreme in bizarre behavior." 
The 5-foot-8, 226-pound suspect, a 37-year-old Shelby Township man whose name 
was not released by police, was arrested in Oakland Township and is likely to 
be be arraigned today. He was taken to North Oakland Medical Centers in 
Pontiac for psychological observation. 
He faces five felony and two misdemeanor counts. Police said he rammed the 
deputy's car with his pickup before swinging his pet. 
The dog was taken to the Oakland County Animal Care Center in Auburn Hills 
and was fine, police said. By Frank Witsil
