Darren Ronald Crail, accused of shooting Vacaville K-9 Officer Murph, is requesting mental health diversion ahead of his preliminary hearing. His attorney pointed out that Crail, a 52-year-old Army veteran with no prior offenses, is seen as not a danger to the public. The court delayed ruling on this request multiple times. Crail faces six felony charges related to the incident, which resulted in significant injury to the K-9, including amputation of a leg. His next court date is scheduled for March 6.
At his arraignment last month, Crail pleaded not guilty Tuesday to six felony counts during arraignment in Solano County Superior Court in Fairfield.
Crail, whose alleged actions last month led to the amputation of the Belgian Malinois' left leg, entered the pleas during an afternoon session in Department 4 in the Hall of Justice.
