VANCOUVER, Wash. — Officials say a police dog tracked down an escaped Clark County inmate who buried himself in sand.
Clark County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Dave Nelson says police dog Apollo tracked Cory Cunningham, 44, after he climbed over the Clark County Jail’s work center fence in Vancouver Thursday afternoon.
Nelson says Apollo and a Clark County sheriff’s deputy tracked Cunningham for 45 minutes before finding him nearby.
Nelson says Cunningham had completely buried himself in sand under some bushes.
Cunningham was taken to a hospital for treatment, then back to jail, where he faces escape charges.
