GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A police dog is credited with helping discover a backpack with cash and marijuana in a home on Green Bay’s west side.
Green Bay Police were called to a domestic dispute in the 700 block of Northern Avenue Monday morning.
While inside, officers saw and smelled small amounts of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Police Captain Kevin Warych says as officers were finishing up with the couple, their suspicions were confirmed.
“Before the parties were able to seperate, the female party brought marijuana to the officers claiming it belonged to the male.”
As the man was getting ready to leave, officers stopped him while they searched the house.
Police dog Pyro found a backpack, which contained small bags totaling a half-pound of marijuana, a digital scale and $13,000 in cash.
“K-9’s can do things officers can’t, Warych said. An officer would not have been able to smell or detect that if it wasn’t for K-9 Pyro.”
Police are recommending several charges against 25-year-old Seth VanDenHoven, including possession with the intent to deliver THC, and keeping a drug house.
