“After observing the vehicle speed through a red light as they left the area, they called for patrol to stop the vehicle, and K9 Officer Scott Smith conducted a motor vehicle stop,” police said.
A K9 sniff indicated contraband in the vehicle, and an ensuing search revealed wax folds used to package heroin.”
