COLUMBIA, KY (15 Jun 2018) at 11:50pmCT, Columbia Police Officer Anthony Darnell initiated contact with the operator of a 2005 Nissan car after he observed it parked behind a local business which was closed.



The vehicle was operated by 49 year old Vickie Jeffries of Columbia. After interview, Ofc Darnell, who was assisted by CPD Ofc Jamie Cole believed there was possibly narcotics in the vehicle but the owner denied consent to search the vehicle.

At that point Columbia Police K9 Officer John Dial and his partner Gunner were called to assist. Gunner has been with Department for a couple months training and had just recently got his certification in drug searches less than 48 hrs prior to callout.

Upon their arrival a positive hit was made by K9 and his handler. A search was conducted at that point and Methamphetamine was located in the vehicle.

Ofc Darnell placed Jeffries under Arrest and lodged her in the Adair County Regional Jail on charges of Possession of a controlled substance 1st degree Methamphetamine and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

Chief Cross said, "This is a example of how beneficial the K-9 program is going to be to Columbia Police Department and its ongoing commitment to combating the drug issues in Adair County. In less than 2 days of his certification the program has already had its first success."
