Bitang Got Your Gun

Bitang the police pooch followed the scent of a gun to the top of a Sherman Avenue garage—and helped cops make the case against a man they’d been chasing.

The action took place around 5:45 p.m. Thursday.

Here’s what happened, according to city spokesman Adam Joseph.

It all started with a seat belt.

Or, more precisely, a seat belt that a 23-year-old city man wasn’t wearing as he drove around town. The police traffic unit stopped him to cite him for that offense.

The driver stopped, too. Then he drove away, southbound on Sherman Avenue. Police followed. He “bailed from the vehicle at the corner of Sherman Avenue and Elm Street.”

Police followed. And they noticed him throwing something away that he’d had in his waistband.
