DCSO K-9 Ezel’s bite helps catch suspect after chase, manhunt south of Bend
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) – An attempted traffic stop south of Bend Wednesday of a car with expired registration stickers led to a pursuit, manhunt and the arrest of a hiding suspect after he was bitten by a Deschutes County sheriff’s K-9, deputies said.
Deputies were in the area of China Hat Road around 4:30 p.m. when one spotted a Honda Accord heading south near milepost 1 with the expired stickers, Sgt. Jayson Janes said. Rather than stop, the driver sped up to get away, he said.
The deputy pursued the driver until he turned onto a dirt power line road, Janes said. The car soon was found abandoned and still running.
Deputies believed it belonged to a 42-year-old Bend man, based on prior contacts. Janes said they also had information he’d been involved in two earlier disputes, displaying a weapon in one of them.
Deputies quickly set up a perimeter and called in K-9 Ezel and partner, Deputy Jeremiah Johnson, to the abandoned car, Janes said.
Not just a ‘Good Boy, Ezel!’ story, there’s Deputy Jeremiah Johnson too which puts this FGS over the top. Read the entire article here: KTVZ.com
