Bloodhound K-9 unit helps bring Georgia manhunt to end with arrest of suspect accused of shooting woman

The suspect was identified as Darian Berry Sr., 46, a convicted felon, according to the Butts County Sheriff's Office.

The domestic incident unfolded Tuesday morning in the city of Flovilla, roughly 50 miles south of Atlanta, officials said.

Deputies first responded after reports of a domestic incident involving Berry.

According to his charges, Berry allegedly attempted to confine or restrict his victim. He was also accused of arson and stalking.

As deputies arrived, Berry allegedly fled on foot and was believed to be armed with a handgun, prompting a major search effort.

The Georgia community was further placed on a BOLO ("be on the lookout") alert as authorities worked to locate the suspect.

Officials said the Georgia Department of Corrections K-9 Unit bloodhound played a key role in helping authorities locate Berry, who was taken into custody by Tuesday evening.
