TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a burglar at an auto parts store threw a pair of pliers through a glass door and hit a Tampa police officer in the head.
The officer was responding to a reported break-in early Monday. She received eight stitches above her left eye.
Police say 37-year-old Leonard Henry tried to hid in shelving at the store, but was sniffed out by K-9 Jagger.
Henry was charged with burglary, battery of a law enforcement officer, criminal mischief and possession of a controlled substance. An investigation continues.
