Branson Police, K-9 collar domestic assault suspect

(From the Branson Police Department)

Last week, BPD Officers responded to an address on Bird Road for reports of a domestic assault. Before the officer's arrival, the male suspect fled into a wooded area. 

Officers on the scene identified the suspect as Tracey Secrest. Officers also learned that there were active protection orders preventing Secrest from contacting the victim.

BPD K-9 Rico responded to assist officers in locating Secrest. K-9 Rico was able to track Secrest through dense woods for approximately 200 yards and he found him hiding in a brush pile. Secrest was taken into custody without further incident.

 
Secrest was booked into the Taney County Jail on a no-bond warrant for two counts of Felony Domestic and one count of Felony Resisting Arrest.

BPD is very proud of our K-9 teams and the incredible work they do!
