Police dog called in to track down suspect

Chatham-Kent police dog Arry got his man once again, this time after a police chase in Chatham that ended with a crash.

Police said the investigation started when an officer attempted to pull over a vehicle in Chatham early Thursday morning that was reported stolen from Windsor.

Officers said instead of stopping, the driver allegedly took off before losing control of the vehicle, which left the road and hit two light fixtures and a tree on Thames Street.

Police said after that crash, the passenger was arrested, but the driver allegedly took off running. The K9 unit was called in and Arry found the driver hiding underneath a parked car a short distance away.

A 20-year-old Windsor man is now charged with flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and two counts of possession of stolen property. A 22-year-old Chatham woman who was allegedly a passenger in the vehicle at the time of the incident is also facing charges in connection with the case.

Both of the accused have been held in custody pending a bail hearing.
