Shreveport, Louisiana

From March 15, 2007 KTBS channel 3:
Shreveport police have arrested a man suspected of shooting at a police officer who was trying to arrest him on suspicion of attempted robbery.

Clarence Taylor III, 32, of Shreveport was caught by a police K-9 hiding under a house in the 500 block of Lawrence Street, police said.

Police said Taylor hid under the house after firing at Officer Matthew Childs, who was trying to stop him for questioning in connection with a robbery attempt at a convenience store.

That attempted robbery occurred Thursday afternoon at a Citgo station on Louisiana Avenue. A man pointed a gun at a clerk, but fled when two other clerks in the store pulled their own guns.

...

Taylor, who suffered minor bite wounds from the police dog, was booked on charges of attempted first-degree murder, attempted robbery and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
