On Friday 07-06-07 Deputy Brian Stapleton and his K9 partner “Zaso” were tasked to assist in a multi-agency narcotics interdiction detail that covered the area of interstate 55 inside the boundaries of Sangamon County in Illinois. This concentrated effort by agencies involved was to detect / arrest suspects involved in drug trafficking. It should be noted that the detail was conducted on a day when the temperature reached 90 degrees with high humidity. The fact that the majority of the stops were conducted on hot concrete surfaces with little relief from the heat made the working conditions on the dog team tough. With approximately 10 marked squad cars making traffic stops from 0930 hours until 1330 hours, the work load facing the dog teams was tremendous. At 1301 hours a traffic stop was conducted and deputy Stapleton and K9 “”Zaso” were dispatched to perform a walk around of a vehicle that was suspected to have illegal narcotics inside. Deputy Stapleton deployed “Zaso” who performed an external sniff of the vehicle yielding an aggressive alert, consisting of an intense scratch on the vehicle around the rear passenger door and door seam. Deputy Stapleton informed the contact Officer of the alert, showing the presence of narcotic odor, and along with back-up officers and investigators from the drug unit, conducted a physical search of the vehicle. During the search, found in the trunk of the vehicle were (3) three bails of suspected cannabis, tightly wrapped in heavy mil plastic having a combined weight of more than (100) one hundred pounds. As a result of the alert by K9 “Zaso”, a controlled delivery was made in a separate state were multiple arrest took place and a handgun and suspect information was received in a three year old homicide case.3/08 |
