Man federally indicted after allegedly shooting police K9
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) – A federal grand jury has returned an indictment charging a Waco man with one count of possession of an unregistered firearm. According to court documents, Darrin King allegedly fled from Waco Police officers on May 28, who were dispatched to a civil disturbance involving a firearm. A police K9 was deployed in pursuit of King, who allegedly produced a firearm and fired multiple shots at the dog, striking the K9 twice in the neck and once in the chest. The Department of Justice says King was subsequently taken into custody and the firearm was recovered. The firearm was allegedly equipped with a machinegun conversion device (MCD), also known as a 'Glock switch,' allowing the firearm to fire as a fully automatic weapon. MCDs are defined as machineguns under the National Firearms Act, even when not installed.

The DoJ says King faces up to ten years in prison if convicted. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Waco Police Department are investigating the case. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
