A Florida K-9 sniffed out a suspect hiding inside a kitchen cabinet after deputies rescued a woman he was holding against her will on Friday, authorities said.

Deputies and K-9 Specter responded around 12:30 p.m. to a home in the 1300 block of Wilkinson Drive in Dover after receiving multiple phone calls from a woman who said she was being held against her will, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.

After several minutes of trying to contact the suspect and victim, deputies busted through the front door, which allowed the woman to escape safely, the sheriff’s office said.

Deputies confirmed the suspect, identified as 44-year-old Kim Michael Torres, and ordered him multiple times to come out of hiding, according to authorities.

When he refused, the sheriff’s office said Deputy Dustin Hartline released K-9 Specter into the home. The police dog quickly sniffed out Torres, who was hiding inside a kitchen cabinet and apprehended him.

"We gave the suspect multiple warnings advising him to come out," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "The safety of the victim and our deputies on the scene is the top priority. Had it not been for the professionalism of our deputies, it could have ended differently."
