Hiding in a culvert just wasn't sneaky enough. A Volusia County K-9 tracked down a fugitive, wanted for armed robberies in Kentucky, hiding off a bike trail in Deltona Tuesday, according to a release from the Sheriff's Office.
Keith D. Neal, 19, was found under the bike path at Green Springs Park in Deltona, said Sheriff's Office spokesman Andrew Gant. A second suspect, Daiveion C. Wells, also 19, was arrested a short time earlier by Volusia County Beach Safety, Gant said.
Both men had warrants out for robbery in Louisville, Kentucky, and are now being held at the Volusia County Branch Jail without bond.
