K9 Shadow! 🐕
On the morning of August 1st, Deputy Johnny Hyatt responded to a business in Easley in reference to a suspicious person in the parking lot. Upon speaking with the subject, Deputy Hyatt made observations that warranted a response from the K9 team to assess the vehicle for illegal substances. Cpl. Brady Autrey and K9 Shadow responded to the scene and K9 Shadow provided a positive alert. A subsequent search led to the confiscation of drug paraphernalia consistent with the distribution of illegal substances and a substantial quantity of fentanyl. The subject was arrested for Trafficking Fentanyl.
Deputy Hyatt did an excellent job of utilizing his training and experience to make these observations, leading to a substantial amount of fentanyl being removed from our streets. This is also a great example of the undeniable value of our K9 partners. Well done gentlemen!
