FRESNO, CA (KMJ) Good dog!
A CHP K-9 officer sniffed out a large haul of cocaine recently.
On February 28, the CHP stopped a truck for a traffic violation on I-5 in Merced County. Sensing something was amiss, the officer deployed K-9 “Shei” who found 20 pounds of coke hidden in a secret compartment in the vehicle.
The driver, James Churn of Portland, Oregon was arrested.
The drugs are said to have a street value of $720,000.
The case has been turned over to the Merced Area Gang Narcotics Enforcement Team (MAGNET)
