When Athens-Clarke police received a 911 call shortly after 1 a.m. on April 24 about a man breaking into a car, an officer responded only to find the thief had disappeared into the night.
The suspect, in his hurry to escape when surprised by the vehicle s owner, had run out of his shoes, which were left behind.
Officer Craig Turner summoned to assist the nightshift officers arrived with his K-9 partner, Bruno, an almost 3-year-old German shepherd trained in tracking, drug detection and suspect apprehension.
An officer on scene had “secured one shoe and we took the other shoe with us on the track. Essentially, it’s a scent article,” said Turner, a member of the police department’s K-9 unit, which has two other dogs. The unit officially began operating in July 2020.
Following the Derek Chauvin trial verdict, a handful of Athens officials offered responses, with some saying there is more work to do.
“The verdict in the trial of the man who brought a premature end to George Floyd’s life demonstrates that nobody is above the law, and that acting as a public employee is no shield for injustice when a crime is committed,” Athens-Clarke County Mayor Kelly Girtz said.
“As we continue to mourn the loss of George Floyd, we can embrace the widespread recognition that every instance of racial oppression must be replaced by opportunity,” said Girtz. “For just as small rivulets become streams and rivers that flow to the ocean, every small provision of dignity will contribute to our growth into a nation with a true foundation of equal justice for all.”
