Just like the Mounties, Diablo always gets his man.

Diablo, the K-9 partner of New Hampshire State Trooper Gary Ingham, last night latched onto a Hampton man who authorities said fought two troopers as they tried to arrest him.

The dog chomped into Gregory Scott Gowen, 47, of Stone Gables Inn, who then broke free of two troopers. Police said Gowen dragged the K-9 — whose teeth were still dug firmly into him — into his car and tried to flee.

Ingham and Trooper First Class Christopher Vetter fought with Gowen as they tried to get him out of the vehicle. Eventually, three bystanders came to their aide and the troopers were able to handcuff and arrest Gowen.

Gowen was treated at the scene by Hampton Rescue and then taken to Exeter Hospital for treatment of dog bites. He was released and then taken to the Rockingham County jail.

State Police Sgt. Patrick Palmer, K-9 Unit Commander, said Diablo is a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois who just graduated in May from the K-9 patrol school.

“He learned well,” he laughed.

Gowen is being held on $10,000 cash bail and is to appear in Hampton District Court at noon today. Gowen is charged with resisting arrest, a misdemeanor, and felony counts of reckless conduct and willful interference with a Police K-9.

According to police, the chase began in Gilford at the airport where an officer tried to pull Gowen over after seeing him drive too close to the runway.

Police said Gowen successfully eluded police in Gilford, Laconia and Alton. He will be facing additional charges in those towns.
