Union County Sheriff’s Office Apprehends Suspect with Help of K-9 Teams

UNION COUNTY, Ga. — On Thursday, Aug. 6, 2025, Union County Sheriff’s Office Deputies were investigating a possible break-in attempt when a person of interest was located. The suspect, identified as Charles House, attempted to evade law enforcement first in a vehicle and then on foot.

Two highly trained K-9 teams were called to assist. K-9 Bolo handled by Capt. Tyler Miller, and K-9 Judge, handled by Georgia Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division Game Warden Corporal Jared Wood, were instrumental in locating and apprehending the suspect.

K-9s play a vital role in modern law enforcement. Their exceptional tracking abilities, keen sense of smell, and specialized training enable them to locate suspects, detect narcotics, and find missing persons with remarkable speed and accuracy. These skills often save critical time during emergencies and enhance officer safety in dangerous situations.

Sheriff Dyer is proud to have K-9 Bolo as part of our team and is grateful for the assistance of Game Warden Jared Wood and K-9 Judge in this case. Their partnership and expertise highlight the invaluable contributions K-9 units make to protecting our community.
