Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:18:15 GMT

(NewsNation/WHTM) — It was K-9 Yoda, a member of the U.S. Border Patrol Tactical Unit, that ultimately helped end a 14-day manhunt for convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante, who was able to escape a Pennsylvania prison late last month. Yoda, a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois, helped Pennsylvania State Police and other law enforcement agencies apprehend Cavalcante, without incident, on Wednesday.“K-9s play a very important role not only for tracking but also for, in a circumstance like this, safely capturing someone,” said Lt. Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police. “[It’s] far better that we’re able to release a patrol dog like this and have them subdue the individual than have to use lethal force."A police K-9 training expert believes the capture of Cavalcante was the perfect “marriage” between technology and police K-9s.

AUSTIN (Nexstar) -- The attorney representing the House impeachment managers accidentally rested the case Wednesday afternoon against suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton before the defense could cross-examine another whistleblower.After wrapping up questioning of Blake Brickman, attorney Rusty Hardin said, "The House rests." He then apologized and added, "Here's the problem: I messed up and shouldn't have rested until [Tony Buzbee] finished his cross." Buzbee then interjected by saying, "And yet you did." While attempting to backtrack his remarks, Hardin said, "The court is having to put up with a screw-up by me. I apologize." However, Lt. Gov.
