Police: Bail Bondsman's K-9 Bit Child in Farmington

A man who purchased a K-9 to utilize in his work as a bail bondsman was arrested after the dog bit his wife’s 6-year-old daughter, according to police.

David Breau, 31, of Farmington purchased the K-9 from a Georgia company, said Lt. Colin Ryan, police spokesman. The dog was pre-trained in protection and as a working dog and not a pet.

“The dog is not licensed and was allowed to interact with the children in the home without Breau’s supervision,” Ryan said.

The dog bit the girl’s head and face, causing injuries.

Police investigated and found that the same dog allegedly bit the same child about six months before. Breau was charged with risk of injury to a minor and failure to license a dog. He was arrested by warrant on May 4.

He posted a $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on May 12.
