TACOMA, Wash. — A man suspected of arson was arrested on Wednesday after neighbors reported seeing him running through their yards in Tacoma, police say.
Police were patrolling the area near the Portland Avenue Reservoir looking for the man when neighbors flagged the officers down, the Tacoma Police Department (TPD) said in a release.
TPD brought a K9 into the search, which led officers to a chicken coop where they found the suspect hiding inside.
The man was arrested, and Tacoma police say the chickens were unharmed but a little confused.
