County police had to deploy a K-9 to find a man in a crawl space to make an arrest in Seymour on Sunday, police report.

Travis Grigsby, 37, of Seymour was arrested for an outstanding Jackson County warrant and resisting law enforcement.

Jackson County Sheriff Rick Meyer said in a news release that at approximately 2:30 p.m. Sunday, county officers Kevin Settle and Ben Rudolph and K-9 partner Nyx responded to a report of a family argument on Sunset Lane in Seymour.

On arrival at the scene, officers were told a male subject involved in an argument, Grigsby, ran out the back of the home because he was wanted on a Jackson County warrant for a probation violation.

Settle and Rudolph searched the back side of the home along with Nyx and noticed a crawl space open under the residence.

Nyx didn’t indicate anyone had gone in the direction of the home’s backyard after Settle and Rudolph walked with her in the area, and they returned to the crawl space.

Rudolph announced several times he was going to send Nyx under the home, and he didn’t get a response.

Nyx was deployed into the crawl space and indicated there might be someone in the crawl space, Meyer said.

Grigsby began to yell and was given orders to come out of the crawl space. He was treated at the scene by Jackson County Emergency Medical Services personnel for lacerations and abrasions, taken to Schneck Medical Center in Seymour and transported to the Jackson County Jail in Brownstown.
