KENNEWICK, Wash. – The Kennewick Police Department arrested a suspect hiding under a barbecue grill with assistance from a Pasco Police K-9, according to a post from KPD.
KPD had posted about the suspect before, reporting felony warrants for three counts of burglary, theft, possession, stolen property and vehicle prowling. He was seen on January 3 in a stolen vehicle, but drove away recklessly, according to KPD.
A few hours after being spotted, the suspect was seen again, a passenger in a car around Eastlake. When officers approached, he ran away, according to KPD. The area was contained while PPD came to assist in the search.
A PPD K-9 officer led the search team right to the suspect’s hiding place, under a barbecue, according to the post. He was booked into jail for his existing warrants, plus new charges for stolen vehicle possession and some misdemeanors.
