Police Dog Falls 2 Stories, but Gets Man

N.H. Police Dog Falls From 2nd-Story Window, but Still Catches Robbery Suspect

GILFORD, N.H. Oct 16, 2006 (AP)— A Gilford police dog fell from a second-story window while searching for a robbery suspect during the weekend, but still got its man.

Police were looking for a man who reportedly robbed a car driver at knifepoint Saturday night. Police say Michael Mount, 30, pulled a knife on the driver of a car in which he was a passenger, forced her off the road and stole her purse.

Police called in their dog, Agbar, to track Mount.

They say Agbar fell from a second-story window while on the hunt, but was not hurt, and led officers to Mount, who was arrested outside his apartment.
