Brevard County Sheriff’s K-9 Gator apprehended suspect David Hallaman in a laundry room
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Florida K-9 captured a man wanted for kidnapping out of Massachusetts after sniffing out the suspect from under a pile of clothes and garbage, authorities said.
K-9 Gator, with the Brevard County Sheriff's Office, located David Hallaman, 31, hiding from deputies inside a laundry room, Sheriff Wayne Ivey said Friday.
"This is Brevard County, and we don’t play," Ivey said in a video posted to the agency’s social media. "We will send a dog in to take a bite out of crime."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Ivey said that Cpl. Lance Behringer unleashed K-9 Gator into the room and showed Hallaman "what happens when you play hide and seek" with the sheriff’s office.
"Gator don’t play that and decided that one of Hallaman’s triceps would probably taste a little bit like chicken," Ivey said.

K-9 Gator bit Hallaman on the triceps part of an arm, causing the suspect to cry and quickly give up, according to the sheriff.
Hallaman was treated at a hospital, where he received stitches for his injuries.
Hallaman faces charges of false imprisonment, kidnapping, criminal mischief, battery and felony battery by strangulation.
