Deputies say a man who was being arrested for burglary pulled a K-9 officer under water in an attempt to drown it.

Two Miami Gardens men are being held without bond in Broward after an attempted robbery in which one of the men tried to drown a K-9 officer, deputies said.

Jerel Dean, 19, and Shalaun Dean, 24, were arrested Tuesday after they were found burglarizing a building that is under construction at "The Oaks" condominiums at 4151 Stirling Road in Dania Beach, officials said.

The two were seen running from the building into a wooded area with canals, along with another male suspect, deputies said.

Broward Sheriff's Office K-9 units were called to search the area and two of the three suspects were located, according to officials.

During the investigation, authorities found the suspects had entered the construction site by pulling down a fence and forcing their way onto the building's roof, officials said. They had disassembled 26 air conditioning units and had attempted to take 15 air conditioning coil units as well as five fan units, according to deputies.
