K-9 helps deputies sniff out 4 1/2 pounds of meth, $16K in ‘drug money’
Deputies say they found the drugs and money inside a car and arrested two people.
A K-9 helped deputies sniff out more than four and a half pounds of meth and $16,000 cash “drug money,” the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office said.
The sheriff’s office said on Wednesday deputies with its narcotics unit stopped a car on SW Hull Avenue and SW Highway 17. During the stop, deputies say they became suspicious of the people inside the car and asked for a K-9 unit to assist.
K-9 Lucy and her handler arrived and Lucy proceeded to do a “free sniff” around the car and alerted her handler there were drugs inside the car, the agency said.
Deputies say they found about four and a half pounds of meth and more than $16,000 in cash during a search of the car.
The two people inside the car were arrested and face several charges, including trafficking meth, according to the sheriff’s office.

Having read much about St JMB’ (Howitzer be his name) two apex creations, the 1911 and the Hi Power, I’ve often wondered when someone would combine the two and make a Hi Power in 45ACP?
There are double-stack 1911s.
The GP trigger is nowhere near as nice as a 1911, and harder to make nice. The GP is a great 9, but the 1911 is a better gun.
Closest they came was a .40 HiPower, or a 9mm 1911. Once you remove the magazine disconnect, a HP trigger becomes adequate. Not great… but then, most out-of-the box 1911s only have “adequate” triggers, too. With modern 9mm loads, you have more capacity and more manageability in a better looking gun. What’s not to like? Realistically, though, both are great guns.
Browning is actually too small… maybe in the future with better metallurgy and more precise manufacturing it can be pulled-off, but not yet.
Hungarians made a .45ACP adaptation of the Hi Power that sucked because too much of the engineering had to change to make it possible. (See FEG GKK-45 pistol.)
It ain’t about the control of gunz, it’s all about control of the law abiding citizen. Crooks not gonna obey them laws neither. Do believe some of those examples have been featured on these pages.
Do believe that there may be more to the Houston story than we’re reading here. If there is only one story to be told, make sure it is your story. Two (2) less oxygen thieves. Good deal!
Speaking of good deals, BZ to K-9 Lucy on sniffing out the dope. I’d like to buy that Puppy a T-Bone Steak Dinner. Four (4) dot (.) five (5) pounds is a whole lot of go fast. Don’t think homeboy was carrying that much for his personal use. And $16K is a whole lot of “walking around” spending money.
“…but I’m a sucker for happy dog stories.” Yeppers, ain’t we all. Our beloved AW1Ed is also a sucker for keeping his dirt diggin’ dog faced Gun Bunny Soldiers (along with his other d’weeded miscreants and the Adorable Deplorables) happy. Why else would he be providing us with the joys of gun pr0n like the designs of his Most Saintly JMB (Howitzer be his name), the Sunday Ms Thang, Cheese Grits with Shrimps and Bacon…the list goes on of the ways he shows his love for us. We are well over barley Seventeen (17) and we are truly blessed. (apologies to Meatloaf)
KoB,
Is that “barley” (as in the grain that makes al-kee-haul) 17? (a good number of years to age Scotch and other fine spirits) Or is you misspelling “barely” (as in almost, but not there yet) 17? (lookee, but no touchee)
Brother Tox, you know me too well. Caught that didn’t ya? Yes, that would be BARLEY as in Al-Kee-Haul. Not gonna “hops” on anything that hasn’t been properly aged. Even if I catch her in/with the rye.
As long as there is beer, we will have no fear.
Yup, criminals are an acceptable loss of control, but the general population of law-abiding people is intolerable having guns (for reasons of forefathers wanted the 2nd Amendment).
So, congresscritter, why are you so very interested in making people helpless? Yes, you are. Why?
