Chadron K-9 Officer Helps In First Arrest

Loading

     It didn’t take very long for the Chadron Police Department’s first K-9 officer to make her presence felt. 

    Police Chief Rick Hickstein says Sukey, a 2-year old German Shepherd, and her partner/handler Officer Seth Orsborn passed certification by the Nebraska State Patrol with flying colors last week, then made a bust on their first official shift together.

      Hickstein says that during a routine traffic stop, Sukey alerted to the presence of drugs and a search found a small amount of methamphetamine that resulted in an arrest.

  Sukey is trained to alert to cocaine, methamphetamine, crystal meth, heroin, PCP, Fentanyl, Psilocybin, and MDMA – more commonly known as ecstasy.

She’s not trained to detect marijuana because it might become legal in Nebraska, at least for medical use, in the next few years.
