Law enforcement K-9 Bobby made a big discovery during a recent traffic stop in Oklahoma.
This from breitbart.com.
In a social media post, Sheriff Andy R. Cumberledge of the Love County Sheriff’s Office said K9 Sgt. Stone performed a traffic stop early Wednesday on a vehicle going southbound on Interstate 35 after noticing several traffic violations.
Sheriff Cumberledge wrote:
When [Sgt Stone] approached the vehicle and spoke with the driver [he] found that the driver was non English speaking and of Asian descent.
During a road side interview utilizing a certified translator Sgt Stone was able to detect deceptive behavior leading [him] to believe the male individual was involved in criminal activity above the observed traffic violations.
The driver claimed he recently moved to Oklahoma City and he was on his way to North Carolina, saying he rented a car to drive to Dallas, Texas, then planned to take a flight to his destination.
The sheriff continued:
The agency’s post included a photo of Bobby with the marijuana still in the suitcases:
The sheriff noted the car did not contain any items to indicate the man was “moving,” then stated:
The individual was attempting to traffick [sic] marijuana from Oklahoma to Texas and through proactive policing and relentless dedication our Deputies caught him red handed and will submit charges against him to the District Attorneys office.
Authorities booked the accused into the Love County Justice Center as a result of the incident.
The sheriff concluded:
Great work to our K9 team and assisting Deputies.

According to the American Kennel Club’s website:
When it comes to criminal activity, dogs can often detect various drugs, explosives, accelerants (when investigating arson), and other crime scene evidence.
[They] are incredible assets to law enforcement because they have 225 million scent receptors in their noses.
Breitbart News previously reported:
In July, another Oklahoma K-9 was in the news for aiding in the arrest of an Ecuadorian pediatrician accused of pedophilia.
Of further note:
Although in March 2023, Oklahoma voters rejected the legalization of recreational marijuana, the state narrowly legalized the medicinal use of marijuana in June 2018 when nearly 57 percent of voters approved of a ballot measure on the issue.
