Columbus police dog Argo helped officers arrest a burglary suspect who was hiding underneath a vacant mobile home early yesterday morning.

20-year-old James A. Carmer of Columbus was arrested on a preliminary charge of burglary in the incident which started at about 4 Sunday morning.

Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the city police, says that officers were called to a home in the 3000 block of Lamplight Drive about a burglary. They found items had been moved in the home and began to search for suspects. Argo picked up a scent and led his handler, Officer Branch Schrader to a nearby vacant home. Underneath the home, Schrader saw a man who matched the description of the suspect who allegedly fled the scene and Carmer was arrested.
