Marine also arrested Thursday on warrant for desertion

Bossier City police were forced to shoot and kill a pit bull Friday as officers served an arrest warrant at a house in the 400 block of Kelly Street.

Officers went to the residence after receiving information that 20-year-old Larry Darnell Caldwell of Shreveport was there. Caldwell was wanted on a warrant charging him with armed robbery for robbery a man at gunpoint on the night of January 23, 2010 in the 1400 block of Traffic Street.

While taking Caldwell into custody, a pit bull ran out the home’s front door and around to the backyard where a K-9 officer was stationed on perimeter with his police dog. The pit bull immediately charged the officer in an aggressive manner and lunged at his police dog, forcing the officer to fatally shoot the pit bull with his service weapon.

Caldwell was taken to the Bossier City Jail where he was booked on the armed robbery charge. He was also booked on an unrelated bench warrant out of Shreveport.
