CPD: Found Needles

By Officer Adam Cravens

COLUMBIA, KY August 28, 2019 -- This afternoon while conducting a training session at the roadside park off of Highway 55 South just outside of Columbia, a number of discarded needle syringes were located by K9 Gunner and his handler, Officer John Dial.

The Columbia Police department is asking people to always use caution when taking children to a public place. As drug problems increase within the community this is always a possibility to come upon similar findings.

Should you or family members find needles or anything similar, do not handle them yourself, but contact appropriate authorities to collect and dispose of them properly.
