HAINES CITY, Fla. – A 21-year-old Haines City man, Dallas Love, was arrested Tuesday evening after attempting to evade deputies from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO).
Love, who had an outstanding arrest warrant for violation of probation, became the target of a PCSO search. Deputies arrived at a residence on Dyson Road, west of Haines City, in pursuit of Love.

Deputies say initial inquiries at the front door of the residence proved unsuccessful. The resident informed deputies that Love was likely in a trailer located behind the main house.
Upon approaching the trailer and announcing their presence, deputies were met by a woman who confirmed that Love was inside. She also relayed that Love had stated he would not be coming out.
Deputies faced Love’s refusal to cooperate, so they deployed K9 Ghost to assist in the search. The canine unit successfully located Love hiding between a mattress and a wall inside the trailer.
