K9 Gus Deployed

At approximately 1:40 a.m., Monday, June 24, Duluth Police responded to a report of a burglary in progress in the 1900 block of E 8th St. Upon arrival, a male, later identified as 34-year-old Duluth resident Shane Anderson, was located attempting to gain entrance into a business. Anderson fled the scene on a stolen bicycle and then continued to flee on foot in the 1900 block of South St where a short foot pursuit ensued.

Officer Abbott deployed K9 Gus as Anderson continued to flee on foot into a wooded area. Anderson continued to be non-complaint and K9 Gus located him in the 400 block of S 19th Ave E. Anderson was detained and transported to a local hospital for injuries sustained during the apprehension.

Anderson will be lodged at the St. Louis County Jail for pending charges of Attempted 3rd Degree Burglary, Felony Possession of Stolen Property, Misdemeanor Fleeing Law Enforcement, and Misdemeanor Obstruction.

Good work to all the officers involved, especially K9 Gus, for locating Anderson and holding him accountable for his actions!
