This is the moment Duder the police sniffer dog catches a fleeing suspect in a Florida resident’s garden.
Clarence Dean Jr. was arrested in the city of Ocala in Marion County in the US state of Florida on 27th January.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office shared the video on social media on 10th February with the statement: “On January 27, 2022, Corporal Luiken received information that a stolen vehicle was in the area of SE Baseline Road and SE Maricamp Road.

The police said the suspect was spotted entering the grounds of an elementary school by members of the Aviation Unit.
MCSO stated: “After a short vehicle pursuit, Dean stopped the vehicle and fled on foot. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) Aviation Unit (AIR-1) responded and spotted Dean climbing a fence onto the property of Maplewood Elementary School.
“Dean ran through a portion of land at the back of the playground and eventually crossed another fence onto private property.
“AIR-1 continued to follow Dean and used its loudspeaker to give him several warnings that he had been spotted and that a K9 unit was en route.
“After several minutes of Dean crossing through multiple pieces of private property, AIR-1 directed deputies to his location on SE 51st Terrace.
“While K9 Deputy Refaei and his partner K9 ‘Duder’ were tracking to Dean’s location, K9 Duder was deployed to apprehend him.”
As seen in the footage, the suspect was caught by Duder and promptly taken into custody.
