Longmeadow PD's K-9 Ruben on the job!
LONGMEADOW, Mass. (WWLP) – K-9 Reuben of the Longmeadow Police Department helped to locate a suspect who ran from a motor vehicle accident recently.
According to the Longmeadow Police Department, officers witnessed a vehicle driving fast on Longmeadow Street around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday. The driver hit another vehicle, lost control, and ran from the accident on foot.
K-9 Reuben was requested and tracked through the woods and found the suspect’s shoes in a stream. K-9 Reuben followed the track into the woods into a residential neighborhood where he found the suspect lying in a bush.
The suspect was arrested for an outstanding warrant and was charged with several motor vehicle offenses.
FYI: Holyoke Kennel Club was instrumental in getting Ruben to the Longmeadow PD.
