PORT ANGELES — A Port Angeles man police suspect was involved in a domestic dispute last week is in the Clallam County jail after Bogey, the Port Angeles Police Department’s newest police dog, tracked him down in the K-9’s third apprehension in a month.

Police arrested 50-year-old David Lyle Schroeder Sr. on Thursday at about 5:15 p.m. after police K-9 Bogey and his handler, Officer Lucas DeGand, tracked Schroeder through the woods surrounding a home in the 1700 block of West 10th Street, said Deputy Police Chief Brian Smith.

Police arrived at the 10th Street home at about 4:15 p.m. to investigate a reported domestic dispute, Smith said, and saw a man run into the woods.

DeGand and Bogey were called in to track the man, later identified as Schroeder, and found him hiding in heavy brush about 15 minutes later, Smith said.

Booked on 2 counts

Schroeder, who was arrested without incident, was booked into the jail for investigation of two counts of fourth-degree assault, one of which was domestic violence-related.

He was no longer on the jail roster Saturday.

Schroeder is the third person to be apprehended with Bogey’s help since the police dog finished his training with DeGand in March, Smith said.

Bogey tracked down Joseph Gregory Gaikowski, 27, and Sean Earl Gormley, 25, in the woods off Deer Park Road on March 26 after a brief high-speed car chase that had started on Old Olympic Highway.

Charges

Gaikowski was charged with one count each of possessing a stolen motor vehicle, attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle and illegal possession of morphine, while no charges were filed against Gormley in the case.

Gaikowski, who remains in the Clallam County jail in lieu of $5,000 bond, is set to appear in court for a status hearing at 9 a.m. this Friday.
