Around 7:00 o’clock yesterday morning members of the LCSO Criminal Investigation Division and Patrol Division located Raymond Shiver (10/20/1985). Shiver was wanted for outstanding Marion County warrants for the following charges: FTA, unlawful use of a 2 way communication device to facilitate a felony, solicitation to commit the sale of methamphetamines, possession of methamphetamines and possession of drug paraphernalia. Each warrant has no bond.
Detectives received information that Shiver was hiding at a location in Morriston. K9 Behr alerted to one of several vehicles on the property. Shiver was found hiding in that vehicle and was told to exit. LCSO Detectives searched the vehicle and located a baggie with a white substance, which field tested positive for methamphetamine. Shiver was arrested for the drugs and charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance. His bond was set at $15,000 for this in-county charge and will be processed prior to being charged with his outstanding Marion County warrants.
Later that morning, K9 Behr assisted LCSO Detectives in locating Tony J Knight (5/5/1985), who was wanted for an outstanding Union County warrant. Knight was reported to be at a location in Otter Creek. Detectives, along with K9 Behr and his handler, Deputy Alton Horne, entered a residence and began to search for Knight. Knight was located hiding in a closet within the residence and refused Detective’s commands to surrender. His refusal to comply with lawful commands and subsequent resistance to arrest resulted in K9 intervention as well as a Taser usage.
Knight was taken into custody and treated on scene by EMS personnel. Knight was searched and a small baggie with a white substance was located in one of his pockets. The substance was identified as methamphetamines. Knight was charged with resisting arrest without violence, possession of a control substance, and the outstanding warrant from Union County. Knight was given a bond of $20,000 for the in-county charges and no-bond for the Union County warrant.
In both of these cases the suspects were faced with a trained law enforcement apprehension K9. Usually the presence of a police dog is enough of a deterrent that criminals surrender. In the rare cases the suspect doesn’t surrender, the resulting consequence is immediately known. Law Enforcement K9’s are invaluable tools in combating crime. Behr and his partner Deputy Horne have proven their value to this agency and our citizens beyond any measure of monetary worth. Behr was a good boy and was given extra treats yesterday while we know his work allowed us to remove dangerous criminals from our community.
