Burglary Suspect Exits Church and Surrenders After Grants Pass Police Deploy K9 Team

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — A burglary suspect surrendered yesterday after Grants Pass patrol officers, including Interim-Corporal Lexi Pittman and her K9 partner Kick, responded to reports of a burglary in progress at New Song Church and warned that the K9 would be entering the building.

Following 911 reports received at about 12:30 am, officers went to the church and established a perimeter before making K9 announcements.

The suspect, 40-year-old Michael Hood, chose to exit the building voluntarily. Hood was taken into custody and lodged at the Josephine County Jail. He faces charges of 2nd-degree burglary.
