DES MOINES, Iowa — Police said a K9 helped them capture a Des Moines man who led officers on a high-speed chase in a stolen truck Tuesday night.

Des Moines Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Paul Parizek said the chase began around 10:39 p.m. when police tried to pull over a pickup truck for an equipment violation at SW 9th St. and Leach Ave. There was a short chase that ended at SE 4th St. and E. Phillip St., where the driver bailed and ran.

Sgt. Parizek said a K9 tracked the driver down, but he was non-compliant and was bitten on the arm by the K9. Zachary Rich, 35, suffered minor injuries. He was taken into custody and is being held in the Polk County Jail.

Rich is facing multiple charges, including first-degree theft, second-degree theft, eluding, reckless driving, possession of drug paraphernalia, as well as traffic citations.

Court records show that at least one of the charges is connected to a May 10th chase involving a different stolen vehicle. Rich was able to elude the police at that time.
