K9 Apprehends Man after Woman Cries for Help

On Monday, December 19 at 5:54 PM, officers from the Fond du Lac Police Department responded to the area of 367 N. Peters Avenue in response to a complaint that a man was assaulting a woman. When officers arrived they determined that both the man and the woman were inside an apartment but would not answer the door. 

When officers heard the woman cry for help, they entered the apartment and found the 19-year-old woman but the man had jumped off the second story balcony and fled on foot.

One of the department’s K9 units was used to track the suspect. The suspect was located inside a storage garage for a local apartment complex that he had broken into. 

The suspect, a 22-year-old man from Illinois, was apprehended through use of the K9. 

He is currently held in the Fond du Lac County Jail on charges of Battery, 1st Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, False Imprisonment, Intimidation of a Victim, Entry into a Locked Building, Disorderly Conduct, Criminal Damage to Property and Resisting/Obstructing an Officer.
