A man who put a state police K-9 in a headlock in order to try and escape after taking a vehicle without permission was nabbed by police.
Joseph McCormack, 29, of Ashford in Windham County, was arrested around 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 19, after Connecticut State Police responded to a home in Stafford on a complaint that a vehicle had been taken without permission.
When troopers arrived at the home of the complainant, McCormack was there, but fled from officers, state police said.
A trooper with his K-9 partner Drago began a track of McCormack and followed him for more than a mile where they located him buried in snow and brush in a heavily wooded area.
When troopers arrived to the home, they said they called for McCormack to come and speak with them, but McCormack fled on foot.
Another trooper and a K9 responded to the scene and began to track for McCormack, state police said. The K9 tracked for approximately one and a half miles and found McCormack, who authorities said had attempted to bury himself in snow and brush in a heavily wooded area.
Troopers gave instructions for McCormack to surrender, but state police said he attempted to flee on foot.
The K9 was deployed and when the dog reached McCormack, state police said McCormack put the K9 in a headlock and began to struggle with the dog. The dog eventually broke free from McCormack and apprehended him, they added.
