MONTVILLE, CT — A wanted man was located and arrested by the Connecticut State Police in Montville, thanks to the sharp tracking skills of K9 Zedo and his handler, TFC Sulich.
The operation took place on June 29, around 6:27 PM, near the intersection of New London Turnpike and Old Fitch Hill Road.
Responding to a call about a fleeing suspect, Montville officers found that the man had crashed into a guardrail and escaped into the woods, potentially under the influence.
The suspect was involved in multiple hit-and-run incidents in Norwich just before this encounter.
K9 Zedo tracked the suspect from his vehicle into the woods, eventually finding him in a plywood outbuilding, where he was discovered unconscious from intoxication.
The man, a 30-year-old, was taken into custody and faces multiple charges, including interfering with an officer, criminal trespass, misuse of registration, evading responsibility, driving under the influence, and failure to maintain lane. He was also wanted on a prior arrest warrant for escape.
