K9 helps police catch suspect

COEUR d'ALENE - Coeur d'Alene Police received a helping hand from their K9 unit in flushing out a burglary suspect Friday evening.

At 6 p.m., police responded to an alarm at the liquor store at 1201 E. Sherman Ave. and found the front glass door had been smashed. Believing the suspect may be inside, officers including A.J. Winstead and K9 Pecco established a perimeter around the building.

A witness told police the suspect was hiding inside, and Winstead asked him to surrender, police reported. After a brief standoff, the suspect asked officers not to send in the dog and surrendered.
