On June 28, 2018, a welfare check turned into a pursuit for a suspect. Nelson deployed his K9 and the K9 bit the original detective pursuing the suspect. Nelson commanded the K9 to release the detective, with his injuries from the attack rendering him unable to continue. Continuing the pursuit, Nelson rammed and tackled the suspect to the ground and the K9 bit the suspect. Nelson held the suspect in a vascular neck restraint. The K9 then bit Nelson.
