Big Red hero for Fulton's K-9 unit Fulton's K-9 unit, Big Red, was the hero for the night when he helped capture a man wanted for burglarizing two camp houses. On the evening of Nov. 20. Corporal Ron Baggett with the Clarke County Sheriff's Department saw Lewis Edward Hill walking down Old Line Road. The sheriff's department had several warrants on Hill. "I jumped out of my car and caught him. He resisted and fought me about 15 minutes. I shot him with the taser, which he tried to take away from me. He continued to resist and he broke free and ran," Baggett said. Hill was caught and broke free several times and even attempted to hit Baggett with a deer skinning rack. During one of the altercations Hill slipped out of his shirt to get away. After several attempts to subdue Hill Baggett called for aid from other officers. Those responding included Investigator Vergil Chapman and Deputy Larry Gene Sheffield with the Clarke County Sheriff's Department, Chief Billy Hicks with Thomasville Police Department, agents with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, Alfred Carter with the 35th Judicial Task Force and Paul Newton and Ronnie Nelson with Fulton's Big Red. Hill was last seen running behind the pastorium at Salem Hill Church. Big Red was given Hill's shirt and then began tracking. He first found Hill's shoes and then found Hill crawling through the brush behind the church. Once he was caught Hill informed the officers, "You wouldn't have never caught me if you hadn't had that big old dog." Hill allegedly took a deer skinning rack, heated socks, a heater and allegedly attempted to take a bag of kitchen utensils from the camp houses which were burglarized.
