*** WATCH *** “K9 APPREHENSION” – Wanted man hurt after allegedly “taking off” from Barnstable Police K9 unit…
HYANNIS – [DEVELOPING] – A man wanted on a default warrant for drug charges allegedly would not stop for a Barnstable Police k9 unit this afternoon, at around 5:30 p.m.. The chase started in the area of Bristol Ave and Bearses Way, according to police radio transmissions. The adult male was reportedly wanted on a default arrest warrant in relation to “Class B” drug charges. The K9 unit reportedly chased the suspect to the rear of the Barnstable Community Innovation School on Bearses Way, where there are several baseball fields and a basketball court. According to police conversation on scene, the suspect was told to stop and that he was under arrest. He was also said to have been warned that the K9 would be released if he didn’t stop. According to police on scene, there was allegedly a moment when the suspect looked back at the K9 officer. The suspect then allegedly decided to take off down a path into the woods. (It’s uncertain whether the suspect was riding a mountain bike at the time of his alleged flight down the path, but as you’ll see in the following photos, one was recovered at the scene by police…) As you will hear in the following HN Video, the K9 officer announced a “K9 apprehension” and immediately requested an ambulance to the scene. A Hyannis Fire Department ambulance and Heavy Rescue unit responded to help carry the injured suspect out of the wooded area to the rear of the school. The extent of the suspect’s injuries was unknown at the time of this report. The suspect was transported to Cape Cod Hospital in police custody. Aside from the default warrant, it’s unknown if the suspect is looking at additional charges. [DEVELOPING]
