UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. - A Pierce County Sheriff's deputy used a unique way to get teens out of hiding after they allegedly stole a car: by barking like a K9 that was about to be released on the hidden suspects.
Around 8:25 a.m. on Aug. 18, deputies were called to the cemetery on Chambers Creek Way in University Place for reports of a stolen vehicle.
The sergeant was able to get ahead of the car and deployed spike sticks to get the vehicle to stop. The driver of the stolen vehicle went over it and all four tires were flattened.
However, the teen suspects rounded a corner, ditched the car along Bridgeport Way, and then ran off.
A deputy found two teens in a ravine near a creek bed.
In body camera footage released by the Pierce County Sheriff's Department, the sergeant yells out to the teens: "Don't make us release our K9!"
The deputy then starts bellowing and barking like a police K9. He did not actually have a K9 with him.
The two teens came out from hiding and were arrested without incident. The other two teen suspects were arrested shortly after.
The teen suspects later told detectives that they actually believed there was a dog about to be sicced on them. One told detectives: "As soon as I heard that dog, I gave up."
Teenagers...smarter than a non dog??
Lol
Give that sergeant a biscuit!
That’s racist, or something.
Norm from Cheers ,”It’s a dog eat dog world, and I’m wearing Milkbone underwear “, or something like that😊
Bet he cannot bark like a Catahoula. Very u ique.
I’ll bet that happens a lot. A Cop has to be resourceful.
Another reason why dogs are the right man for this job, vs other domesticated animals. When is the last time you heard of a Police Cat assisting in an arrest?
Like a cross between a saddleback/Redbone and a yote.
The police will be sued by the NAACP for employing Jim Crow tactics against Deshawn and Bequann
All you need is an 870 and a Catahoula.
A police dog has a handler. That dog gets very attached to it’s handler. If the dog perceives a threat to the handler, it is game on. Those dogs are very protective animals and will fight to the death to protect their human. They deserve a special place in heaven when they pass on.
As the saying goes, dog is cop’s best friend.
It may have worked but I thought it was a sick beagle. LOL
I used that tactic many decades ago to get a burgherly suspect out of the woods.
Just for the fun of it I barked into a open mike.
His mother called dispatch after hearing it on a scanner.
Complaining we were sending dogs after her son.
Your barking must have been very convincing. Mom doesn’t need to know the whole story.
It was rather funny.
The mother complained that we were treating her son like a wild animal chasing him down with dogs.
“Don’t start none,
won’t be none!”
Said a wise old Owl to a Rat.
