Richmond County Sheriff’s K-9 Sniffs Out 6 lbs. of Cocaine


A little sniffing around by a K-9 officer led to a Johnston County man being charged with cocaine trafficking.

Richmond County sheriff’s deputies say they were in the area investigating complaints of drug activity Saturday when 35-year-old Juanito Morales Cruz, of Clayton, was pulled over.

K-9 officer Kees — and his handler Deputy Josh Chermack — searched the vehicle and deputies say the drug dog indicated the presence of narcotics.
