The suspect, Daniel Van Eugene Hall, 19, reportedly left the vehicle and tried to run away on foot.
The sheriff’s deputy released his K-9 partner, Yo, who caught Hall.
Hall continued to fight the dog, according to a police report, and at one point “surrendered,” only to get up and take off running, again.
Yo stopped Hall a second time and he was taken into custody.
Sheriffs later determined Hall was driving a stolen car that had not yet been reported by the victim.
He later admitted to being high on methamphetamine.
Hall faces charges including unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, eluding police, reckless driving, resisting arrest, possession of burglary tools, interfering with a police animal and DUI.
