On 9/19/2023 at 2336 hours, Ramsey County Deputies were dispatched to a report of threats of violence on the 300 block of Labore Road. The male suspect had a dispute with a tow truck driver and threatened to shoot him with a gun. The victim said he was calling the police, and the suspect fled the area on foot carrying a bag and wearing a white shirt. Deputies arrived in the area and located the suspect, but he was no longer wearing a shirt or carrying a bag. They requested assistance from a K9 for an article search, so Sgt. Schultes responded with K9 Grizz. K9 Grizz was deployed on lead and an article search was started. K9 Grizz checked an apartment parking lot, then moved to an opening in a fence leading to a park. After entering the park, K9 Grizz turned and started to actively track human odor/ground disturbance along a fence line. He displayed a "head snap" and turned into some brush along the fence. He gave a positive alert and investigated something in the tall grass. Officers checked the item and determined it was a shoulder bag matching the description given by the victim.
