K9 Search
On Oct. 7, officers patrolling the Dee Events Center parking lot encountered two individuals parked. They were in separate vehicles, with one individual sitting in the back seat of their car. The individuals acted odd so officers called for a K9 unit to sniff. If the dog gets a positive alert, it gives officers probable cause to search the vehicles. The dog was alerted to a smell in one of the vehicles, but after a search was conducted nothing illegal was found.
