RAVENNA -- Deputies say Loudean Strong, 36, of Ravenna Township and William Hawkins, 29, of Streetsboro ran from them as they responded to a Mantua home for a burglar alarm.

As deputies checked the home's garage, the two fled into nearby woods.

The sheriff's department K-9 unit tracked the woods and found Strong and Hawkins.

They also found items taken from the garage.

The pair were taken to jail and have been charged with breaking and entering.

They will be arraigned today.
