VIDEO DESCRIPTION

Citizen flagged down K9 and his handler and advised them that there was an armed drug dealer driving. A short time later, K9 and his handler tried to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle with tabs that expired but the car fled. A pursuit was initiated, in which the driver fled at speeds of 100mph.. The driver slid into a tree in a nearby neighborhood, at which point he fled on foot. K9 found the driver hiding under a deck. Despite numerous K9 warnings to crawl out, the suspect refused and instead chose to ignore commands and dig through his pockets and waistband. K9 was deployed and extracted the suspect out from under the deck, at which point he was placed under arrest. A search warrant was executed on the car, which yielded a loaded .357 magnum. Suspect is a three time convicted felon with significant criminal history in other states. He also had an active warrant out for communicating with a minor for immoral purposes. The suspect was treated for minor injuries from the dog bite and booked into jail for attempting to elude, unlawful possession of a firearm, and hit and run.
