Florence Police K-9 catches man in crawl space
by: Tony Cortes
FLORENCE, Ala. (WHNT) — The Florence Police Department says a man who hid under a house was captured with the help of a K-9 on Saturday.According to FPD, officers responded to the 1500 block of Houston Street for an in-progress domestic violence call. When they arrived, FPD said Robert Vanegas ran and hid beneath a nearby house.
Officers found Vanegas hiding inside a crawl space, but said he refused to come out and tried to hide himself further. Sergeant Garrison and his K-9 partner, Aero, arrived on the scene.
After failing to get Vanegas to come out, Sgt. Garrison, Aero and Officer Potts entered the crawl space.
Using a taser proved to be ineffective due to the hanging insulation, exposed wires and limited space. Authorities said Vanegas moved even deeper into the crawl space.
After continuing to ignore commands to surrender, FPD said Aero was deployed and bit Vanegas, causing a minor injury to his leg. EMS later treated him on scene, and no other medical attention was needed.
FPD said Vanegas then surrendered and was safely removed from the crawl space by officers.
Authorities said Vanegas was arrested for two active warrants and resisting arrest. He was taken to the Lauderdale County Detention Center, where he is being held on a $2,500 bond.

Who’s a good boy?

Give Aero some doggie treats to wash the taste of the perp out of his mouth.
And a good bath to wash the dirt off from the crawl space.
We hoomans don’t deserve half the love and dedication we get from our canine friends.
(Don’t ask me about cats. Cats are opportunistic assholes)
The more I learned about hoomans, the more I loved my dogs. Can be the epitome of unconditional love. I had to dig a bit bit to find the picture of that Good Boy, but it was well worth the search. Those of you that have access to the Book of Fake can find more pics and stories of his exploits. Too bad Aero can’t be hanging around Fire Base Magnolia this week for the mini family re-union. He’d be feasting of orasted beast of beef, pork, finned, and fowl. Chimken n dumplins, cat headed biskets, Southern Cornbread, dressing, apple and peach pies, assorted veggies, misc desserts, shrimps n grits. That’d take the taste of perp out of his mouth. And they’d be plenty of belly rubs for that Good Boy.
Queenly Little pistol you gots there, Mister. Would make a royal mess out of a bad guy, PLUS give one a nice “Earth Shattering” K-BOOOM! Black Powder Matters!
A Queen Anne pistol, where bigger IS better KABOOOM!
“Vanegas to come out, Sgt. Garrison, Aero and Officer Potts”
