The man accused of killing a Canton police dog during a burglary will be held behind bars after he gets out of the hospital.

Bond was set at 5-million dollars for 22 year-old Kelontre Barefield, who faces charges now including aggravated burglarly and assaulting or harrasing a police dog, along with other felonious assault and weapons charges.

Canton police say that list may not be the final list of charges.

K-9 Jethro responded with human officers to a burglary call at a Harrison Avenue SW store.

Police say Barefield shot Jethro three times, before officers returned fire.

Barefield is in Aultman Hospital in guarded condition.
