San Joaquin Deputies Credit K9 Jet for Locating Hiding in Crawl Space Under Home
SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, CA — “Deputies responded to a burglary in progress after a homeowner called to report his back door had been vandalized and he could hear someone inside. Deputies made entry and cleared the home but initially did not locate anyone. As deputies attempted to exit the residence, K9 Jet alerted again, prompting deputies to take another look.
Deputies returned to a locked crawl space inside a bedroom closet that leads under the home. K9 Deputy Engeldinger deployed his partner, K9 Jet, who immediately began alerting to something underneath the home. Even when nothing was visible, Jet wasn’t backing down. His nose knew better.
Turns out Jet was right. K9 Jet helped locate a suspect hiding underneath the house and successfully engaged him. The suspect was taken into custody, treated for injuries, and booked into jail.”
