A Kansas Wildlife and Parks K9 provides assistance to the Parsons Police Department.

Late last week, a KDWP Game Warden Austin Sievert and K-9 Apollo were requested following the conclusion of a vehicle pursuit with a convicted felon. Once the suspect was in custody, PPD and the Labette County Sheriff’s Office believed parts of a firearm had been discarded in tall grass on the side of the highway to hide evidence.

K9 Apollo made quick work of the road ditch, alerting officers to the location of the components of the firearm that were thrown further down the highway.
