On November 13, 2022, Warren broke into a home on Leonard Street NW while fleeing from police and refused to comply with police demands, WZZM13 reported. He exited the home in an attempt to flee, fired shots at responding officers and retreated back into the home.
A police K9 was eventually sent into the home, where Warren then allegedly stabbed the dog multiple times. Officers then entered the home and took him into custody.
On Monday, June 1, Warren pleaded guilty to assault, felony firearm, two counts of felonious assault, assault with intent to murder, home invasion first-degree, causing serious injury to a police animal, felony firearm, and as a habitual offender in both cases. Warren will appear in court for his sentencing on Thursday, June 25.
The K9 officer, named "Eli," is a Belgian Malinois. He had been with the department for four years when he was stabbed. Eli lost a lot of blood, sustained a punctured lung, and had major thoracic injuries. He had at least one surgery and blood transfusions. He was released from the hospital three days later to a crowd of police staff cheering him on.
He returned to work in January 2023 and officially retired on May 24, 2026.
