Police identified 29-year-old Allyn McFarland as the suspect in a Monday night incident where McFarland barricaded himself inside a bus, injuring a security guard and several officers before his arrest.

This happened at a bus stop near Blue Diamond Road and Durango Drive in the southwest valley just before 7 p.m. on March 20.

According to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police (LVMPD), McFarland attacked a bus security guard with a trash can and rocks before police were called. They said McFarland had grabbed several rocks from the landscaped area surrounding the bus stop and refused to exit the bus once they arrived.

"A K-9 Officer, his dog, and other officers entered the bus to take McFarland into custody," LVMPD said in a statement. "A struggle ensued, and McFarland received a bite from the dog. During the incident, McFarland was able to bite an officer and struck other officers."

A message from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police watch commander on Monday night indicated McFarland had bitten an officer's ear. All police officers were treated and released for their injuries. The bus security guard is contracted by MV Transportation. They did not return a request for comment on his condition.

McFarland is due in court Wednesday morning. He faces 11 charges—including four felonies—ranging from mayhem and battery with substantial bodily harm to mistreating a police animal. Seven counts of "battery on a protected person" likely indicate how many officers were injured, including the transit security guard.

The police dog's name is "Mr. G," but it wasn't immediately known the extent of any injuries "Mr. G" may have suffered.

Clark County court records indicate an Allyn McFarland has several prior arrests dating back to 2012, including several felony charges. But it's unclear if it's the same person.

Using security cameras with high resolution inside the bus, police were able to watch McFarland in real-time as the barricade event unfolded. RTC Deputy CEO Francis Julien said they've invested $10 Million in the new surveillance technology.

Julien said despite a high-profile incident like this, RTC buses remain safe for both passengers and employees.

"We're microcosms of the community," said Julien. "So, unfortunately, one incident is one too many. But last year, we did over 41 million rides. So public transit is safe."

He pointed to the recent technology investments as well as the $13 million a year for third-party contracted security. Julien also said RTC uses data to create heat maps and track high incident or problem spots on their routes. He noted that Blue Diamond and Durango is not a hot spot for crime.

Blue Diamond and Durango is the same location where a woman stole an RTC bus and led authorities on a slow-speed chase before being arrested.

"These are really two unique cases," he said. "This is actually not a hotspot, and that passenger had actually boarded much farther down the line. So these are really two unrelated incidents."

Julien encouraged passengers to download the Transit Watch app, which can be used to report RTC incidents to security with a quick response time, he said.

When asked if there were additional safety measures in the works for RTC, he said there is something coming down the pipeline to be unveiled in six or seven months, but declined to provide details.
