HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — A K-9 with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office helped locate a suspect who was hiding behind a hidden door.

The video shows deputies roaming around the Seffner home, located in the 2700 block of North Valrico Road, at around 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday.

Officials were searching for the suspect, identified as 38-year-old Christopher Stringfield.
