FAIRVIEW, Tenn. (WTVF) — Authorities are praising a Williamson County K-9 for helping find a domestic violence suspect hiding in a shed.
Late Saturday night, Fairview Police Department officers responded to a domestic call involving Terrance Darnell Kilpatrick.
Police said Kilpatrick fled the scene, smashing his car into the front end of a Fairview police cruiser. Fairview police said the damage to the police car was minor.
Williamson County deputies were called in to help Fairview officers, including Deputy Hayden Smith and K-9 Titus.
Titus tracked the suspect through the woods to a shed behind a resident's home.
Officers searched but couldn't find Kilpatrick, but Titus was persistent.
"It would've been difficult without Titus, and the use of K-9s, "said WCSO Chief Deputy Mark Elrod. "They have a great smell, and the dog said, 'I'm doing my job now you do yours, go find him.'"
After taking another look, officers found Kilpatrick hiding in a loft, behind some boxes.
Kilpatrick was then arrested and is now facing a handful of charges including DUI, leaving the scene of an accident, driving on a suspended license.
