3-Pound Chihuahua Helps Nab Fugitive In Auburn

AUBURN (AP) ― A three-pound Chihuahua mix named Tank is being praised for helping police catch a Christmas Day fugitive.

The dog's adventure began when four suspects who were fleeing police crashed a stolen minivan into a hillside.

Auburn homeowner Wendy Anderson says Tank, her son's dog, found a suspect hiding under a neighbor's motorhome and chased him into the woods. Her son and husband directed a law enforcement helicopter to where the man was hiding.

Tank is a Pomeranian and Chihuahua mix.

Three suspects are juveniles from the San Francisco Bay Area, the California Highway Patrol says. They crashed the van in the Sierra foothill town east of Sacramento.

A passenger, 19-old Marvin Gonzales of San Pablo, was arrested with public intoxication and resisting arrest.
