(FOX40.COM) — Police responded to a man lying down in the street yelling in West Sacramento on Tuesday night.
The West Sacramento Police Department said the incident was reported on the 600 block of Water Street at around 10:20 p.m.
WSPD stated when officers arrived at the scene, they found the man lying in the street and discovered the man was intoxicated but lived with family members nearby.
According to WSPD, officers attempted to help the subject get to his family's home safely. However, as the man opened the front gate, a large German Shepherd escaped the front yard, which resulted in the dog attacking one of the officers and attempting to bite his leg.

The hearing is known as a charge conference, where the parties hash out instructions the jury will receive before they start deliberating. Jurors won't be present for Thursday's proceedings. The parties are also awaiting a ruling from Judge Beverly J. Cannone on whether the jury can view a PowerPoint presentation from ARCCA, a Philadelphia-based crash reconstruction firm whose experts found the damage to Read's SUV and the injuries to the victim, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, weren't consistent with O'Keefe being struck by the vehicle, a finding at odds with government experts who also testified.

‘We just want to know that she's safe' — Mother of missing West Jordan teen speaks out
WEST JORDAN, Utah (ABC4) — The mother of the has spoken out about her worries about her daughter's disappearance. Sophia Rojas, 15, was last seen on June 3, and she has had no contact with her friends or family since, according to West Jordan police. She was last seen wearing a grey suit and pants. Police believe that she may be with an adult, and she may be lying about her age. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Family, police seeking information on missing 15-year-old girl from West Jordan Her mother, Porscha Chavez, spoke to about her daughter's disappearance. 'She took off in the middle of the night, and I haven't heard from her or seen her since,' she said. Chavez told that Sophia left a note, but that the first sentence of the note didn't sound like her. The note said, 'Don't jump into getting the police involved.' The rest of the note said that she had a place to stay, not to worry about her, and not to be mad, that she would be back eventually. Chavez believes that she is with an adult because she left in the middle of the night on a school night and none of her usual circle of friends have heard from her. Sophia also has a history of talking to adults online and lying about her age, Chavez said. Chavez took Sophia's phone away in February for that reason. 'I do feel like she's possibly been groomed. I think that she feels like it's not gonna happen to her, and that she'll be okay, and she has the teenager mindset of nothing's gonna happen to her and she knows everything and she's fine,' she said. Chavez told that she is able to see that Sophia has a different phone signed into her Google account, and Chavez does not know where that phone came from. She is able to see that it is logged in, but she cannot see its location.

'My concerns are that she's with an adult, who may be feeding things to her, and possibly, now that this is getting awareness and stuff, that they may not let her go if she wants to go home,' Chavez said. She also told that she feels like Sophia's case is not getting the attention it deserves because her daughter is not white. Chavez shared what she wants Sophia to hear from her. 'Come home,' she said. 'We just want to know that she's safe, and we want her back home safely.'
