Osgood's K-9 unit assists with drug arrest
Wanda English Burnett - Editor
A routine traffic stop saw two local men taken
to jail and two juvenile girls happy to be on their way.
Osgood's Town Marshal Rodney Stepleton arrested 21-year-old
Domingo Vela of Delaware, Saturday night, May 6 after the vehicle
he was driving was stopped for a traffic violation. He and
a juvenile in the vehicle were found to be in possession of
marijuana.
Osgood's K-9 Unit, Farrell played an instrumental role in
the arrest. He circled the vehicle and then
sat on it signifying that there was some type of illegal drug
inside. Stepleton was then able to search the car and found marijuana
inside.
Reserve Deputy Jerry Burnett assisted with the arrest and
transported both Vela and the juvenile to the Ripley County
Jail. Two female occupants of the vehicle were able to drive
away.
Stepleton noted that he uses his K-9 unit on a regular basis. "He's
a great tool to find drugs," noted the marshal, who said
one of his main goals is to take drugs off the streets of Osgood.
