BOULDER, Colo., Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Police in Boulder, Colo., said a man suspected of skipping out on his restaurant tab had to be dragged out from under a car by a police dog.

Investigators said Daniel Axford McKeever, 30, who is from California, is suspected of fleeing restaurant Sushi Zanmai without paying a $15 tab Monday, the Boulder Daily Camera reported Wednesday.

McKeever, who allegedly used a wooden stick to strike a bus boy while fleeing the restaurant, was found hiding under a car eight blocks from Sushi Zanmai, officers said. They said McKeever refused to come out, even after they fired "several" pepper balls under the vehicle.

Police said they approached the car with a dog and told McKeever he would be forced out if he did not emerge. McKeever did not respond and the dog bit him on the leg and forced him to come out, the report said.

McKeever reportedly told police he ran from the restaurant because he had forgotten his wallet, but police said they found his wallet on him.

"It must have just appeared," he allegedly told officers.
