K9 JAEGER GETS HIS MAN

Jul 19, 2021
2 min read

July 19, 2021 - Prolific felony offender Jamie Armstrong, 32, of Crescent City was arrested yesterday after attempting to flee deputies, resisting arrest and being bitten by a K9. Armstrong has an extensive history of burglary and larceny. Following his most recent release from jail Armstrong cut off his court-ordered ankle monitor. Since July 6, Armstrong has avoided contact with law enforcement and even fled from deputies on two occasions when they located him, once crashing a vehicle near a cemetery on San Mateo Road. During that incident, Deputy Sharp used K9 Jaeger in at attempt to track Armstrong, but was unsuccessful.


On Saturday Deputy Sharp and K9 Jaeger got another chance to apprehend Armstrong when an anonymous tip led deputies to a shed located on County Road 309. With Armstrong's previous history of running, deputies walked to the shed. Armstrong still attempting to flee by climbing a fence when Sgt. Merritt deployed his Taser. Armstrong was placed in handcuffs and as deputies walked him to a patrol vehicle, Armstrong pulled away from the deputies and began running toward a wooded area. Deputy Sharp deployed K9 Jaeger who tackled Armstrong, biting him on the shoulder.


Knowing he probably would not be getting out of jail anytime soon, Armstrong again ran from deputies, was caught and placed in leg restraints.


Armstrong's new charges include two counts of escape, one count of tampering with an electronic monitoring device, one count of resisting an officer and one count of drug equipment possession. Armstrong also has multiple burglary and larceny charges from 2020. His bond on those prior charges is revoked and he currently is in the Putnam County Jail. He is being held without bond.


We want to thank everyone who helped look for Armstrong. As we suspected, he has been busy since he left jail and more charges are expected.

I loved reading about K9 Jaeger’s amazing work! It’s incredible how these dogs impact the community. Makes me think of the agility in “run3”—both need precision and training! Keep up the great posts!

Honestly, it's wild how Armstrong kept bolting even after being cuffed - that shed on County Road 309 was supposed to be the end of it. I guess this temporary note link situation with Jaeger really shows why K9 units matter; without that 7 day text link to track suspects, folks like him might've slipped away again. Makes you appreciate the 7 day text link approach for public safety.

I think it also emphasizes the importance of trained officers and K9 units in helping bring incidents to a safe conclusion while minimizing further risk. Although Slope Rider is usually associated with fast-paced action in a game, real-life pursuits carry serious consequences that affect everyone involved. I hope incidents like this encourage greater respect for the law and safer choices that prevent injuries and unnecessary confrontations.

What a dramatic incident. It highlights the risks law enforcement officers face when dealing with suspects who attempt to flee, even after being taken into custody. Thankfully, the deputies were able to apprehend the suspect, and the additional charges reflect the seriousness of repeatedly attempting to escape. After reading intense news stories like this, I like to unwind with Crossy Road, the arcade game where players guide quirky characters through busy roads and obstacles. It's a fun way to relax and clear my mind.
