On February 21, 2013 at 8:30 AM, Officers were assisted by two State Patrol Canine handlers in conducting a canine sweep of the lockers and vehicles at Sturgeon Bay High School and Middle School. Both of the canines provided for the sweep are trained in detecting drugs. The canine sweep consisted of sweeping 900 lockers and about 100 vehicles, which were in the parking lot. Inside the school the canines alerted on none of the lockers. Outside the school canines alerted on three of the vehicles parked in the parking lot. In two of the vehicles, Officers found drug residue inside the vehicles. Inside the third vehicle Officers found a baggy of green leafy substance identified later as Marijuana and a green candy bar later identified as edible Marijuana. Officers arrested an adult male for Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Possession of Controlled Substances On Or Near Certain Places. The male was transported to the Door County Jail where he was booked into the jail on those charges. The School canine sweep is done on a annual basis and will be done by the Police Department again in the near future.
