As deputies investigated that scene, they received a report of a suspicious person trying to break into vehicles nearby, and they headed to that area. The deputies spotted a suspect and issued commands for him to comply, which he disregarded, the sheriff’s office said.

Deputies then used a K-9 and were able to take the suspect into custody.

The woman’s description of the man matched the description of the suspect in the second incident, the sheriff’s office said.
