In October of 2001, K9 Officer Steven Endries
was teamed up with a new K9 named Aron (AKA Ronny). K9 Ronny is
an 18 month old German Shepherd imported from Germany. K9 Ronny
is a dual purpose K9 certified in detecting narcotics and patrol
work. The patrol work ranges in skills such as tracking, area
searches, article searches, building searches, criminal
apprehension and handler protection.
K9 Ronny
already has to his credit a felony arrest for possession of
cocaine with intent to deliver. A total amount of 21 rocks of
crack cocaine were found inside a vehicle while parked at the
Taycheedah Correctional Institute. Over $1,500 in cash was also
confiscated along with a 1990 Chevy Lumina that was used to
transport the drugs from the Milwaukee area to Fond du Lac.
K9 Ronny's
food is donated by Larry Filo of Steinig Tal Kennels. K9 Ronny
receives 40 lbs of National brand dog food each month. Dr.
Thompson from Country Hills Vet Clinic has volunteered his
veterinarian services to the Fond du Lac Police Department for
K9 Ronny.
K9 Ronny
was purchased for the Fond du Lac Police Department by the
Evening Kiwanis Club of Fond du Lac. They have made Ronny an
honorary member in their organization.
Officer Endries retired K-9 Ronny in
January of 2005. |
