Police say Cincy K-9 bites park worker over attire

CINCINNATI

Police in Cincinnati say one of their dogs mistakenly bit a city parks employee because of what she was wearing.

Police Sgt. Daniel Hils says when the officer assigned to Tank let him loose for a call of nature, the dog saw the woman in dark overalls resembling the K-9 training “bite suit” — and reacted.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports Jamila Turnbow got a 3-inch cut on her upper right arm from the attack on July 25.

Hils writes in a memo to police higher-ups that Turnbow’s attire and the dog’s response doesn’t excuse what he describes as the K-9 officer’s “lack of attention and control of his canine partner.” Hils is recommending a reprimand and has ordered that police dogs not be allowed off leash in public.

Ill. woman finishes bar exam while in labor

CHICAGO

A pregnant suburban Chicago woman was so determined to finish the Illinois bar exam that she completed the test even after going into labor.

The Chicago Tribune reports 29-year-old Elana Nightingale Dawson had started the final portion of the exam last week when the Northwestern Law School graduate went into labor. The exam must be finished to be valid.

Nightingale Dawson says her goal was “to get through the exam as fast as I could and leave” unless anything more serious happened. Her contractions were about 15 minutes apart.

After finishing, she walked with the proctor about one block to a downtown Chicago hospital. The Downers Grove woman’s son, Wilson, was delivered by C-section about two hours later.

She’ll find out in October if she passed the bar.
