## Resource

Deputies in Thurston County, Washington, used a new drone to scout a suspicious squatting scene near Steamboat Island Road — only to find an active arrest warrant. After the drone confirmed it was safe, K9 Mac tracked down the fleeing suspect, who surrendered without resistance. He was arrested for the warrant and charged with violating a no-contact order — a perfect blend of old-school policing and cutting-edge tech.
