It was a chilly early afternoon in spring 2018 when an armed suspect fled from officers as they attempted to arrest him outside the library in downtown Glenwood Springs. The suspect, who was wanted on several burglary and theft charges, quickly disappeared from officers before hiding and locking himself inside a guesthouse on Bennett Avenue.
“We did a three-block area search and Zeus ended up finding the guy and alerting at a residence. He was going nuts saying ‘hey the guy is in here!’” said handler and Glenwood Springs Police Officer Blake Gobbo. “The suspect didn’t care about rifles pointed at him, but we had to reassure him a bunch of times that Zeus wasn’t going to bite him.”
