Two from Neosho arrested after officer kicked, bit by dog

A brother and sister from Neosho, Missouri, are facing charges after officers were kicked and bit by a dog on Friday.

Court documents claim officers saw a woman with active felony warrants sitting on her front porch.

When officers contacted 56-year-old Theresa Morrison, she and her brother 54-year-old Marcus Morrison began arguing with police.

During a struggle, an officer was bit by Theresa’s dog and ended up tasing her after she failed to comply.

Marcus was chased into the home by two officers, kicking both of them.

The dog also bit another officer, drawing blood.

Theresa faces a resisting arrest charge.

Marcus was charged with assaulting an officer, tampering with physical evidence and resisting arrest.
