A 24-year-old man is in custody thanks to the work of the Chatham-Kent Police K-9 Unit.

Officers used their dog to track down a 24-year-old who fled the scene of a single vehicle crash Thursday evening near Claymore Line.

Police say they found him hiding under a cedar tree.

To make matters worse, they say he’d been drinking while under release with an order not to.

He was re-arrested and held for bail.
