Two women came out, but one said her baby was still inside, so she retrieved it. K9 Knox barked at a locked bedroom door. Four people walked out, but the felon was still hiding. He was found under a pink, wooden couch.
Earlier in his shift, an officer saw video of a vehicle prowl. That suspect matched the description of this one. Also, that suspect was wearing a teal green Philadelphia Eagles knit cap. That was found under the pink couch.
