 A three-judge federal appellate panel on Thursday rejected a claim from a Twin Cities police officer who sued a sheriff's deputy over a canine bite. Officer Daniel Irish, who was with the Champlain Police Department and Hennepin County Deputy Keith McNamara, were chasing a man who had fled a traffic stop in early 2022. McNamara released his canine after the suspect ran into a cemetery, but the dog attacked Officer Irish instead. McNamara redirected the dog, which caught the man.
