On 03-18-2018 the Lamar Police K-9 Unit was contacted by the Barton County Sheriff's Office requesting assistance in the NW part of the county.
Crawford County Sheriff's Office initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle and it failed to yield. The pursuit traveled from Crawford County into Barton County. The drive went off the roadway and traveled through a field and into a wooded area. The vehicle was confirmed stolen at some point prior to the arrival of the K-9 Unit.
The driver fled the scene into a wooded area. A perimeter was set up with responding officers. Upon their arrival, the LPD K-9 Unit began a track starting at the driver's door of the truck. Hondo tracked the suspect through the woods, crossed a small creek, a roadway, and two fences.
