A man was arrested in connection to prowling near Mesa Road in Santee with the help of a police dog Tuesday, the sheriff’s department said.
Deputies recieved the call just after 11 a.m., according to Lt. Amber Baggs, a spokesperson for SDSO.
A hot prowl in progress was reported to officials, which means someone was home during a break-in. Though, it is not clear if a home was robbed at this time.
The suspect in custody is known to have an outstanding felony warrant against him, Baggs said.
A K-9 was used to stop the man from evading custody, biting him several times.
Cuts and scratches could be seen on the suspect’s arms in video obtained by NBC 7.
The suspect was taken a nearby hospital for wounds suffered from the police dog, according to Baggs.
No other information was available at this time.
