Authorities questioned one “person of interest” after a pair of suspects reportedly sped off in an officer’s cruiser, only to abandon it on rail road tracks behind a train depot.

Hattiesburg police later captured the suspects and identified the two cops as K-9 officer Benjamin Deen, 34, and recent police academy graduate Liquori Tate, 25, The Jackson Clarion-Ledger reported. Deen was a former “officer of the year” for the department.
