HOUSTON, Texas — A K-9 officer had to be put down after being injured while chasing a suspect in a stolen vehicle case. Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said that K-9 Officer Rony, a 7-year veteran of the Houston Police Department, had nearly 250 apprehensions.
An exclusive report obtained by Breitbart Texas reveals that nearly 1,800 police officers have lost their lives in the line of duty over the past 10 years. That number includes the deaths of 160 K-9 officers.
The Canton Ohio Police Department cop who lost his K9 partner was in Texas on Monday and he selected a new K9 that was donated from a Houston-based nonprofit, K9s4COPS.
The judge set the bond at $5 million for the man accused of killing K9 police officer Jethro. The defendant, 22-year-old Kelonte Demorious Barefield, is probably not going to be able to get out of jail any time soon.
A memorial service for police K9 officer Jethro, who was killed in the line of duty, was held on Thursday.
