Lavonia Police K-9 Officer Lobo is doing what he was hired to do – catching the bad guys. Last week, Officer Lobo assisted Lavonia Police, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, the Georgia State Patrol, and the Appalachian Regional Drug Enforcement Office in the arrest of a South Carolina woman found to be in possession of drugs. It happened last Thursday when GSP Troopers pulled over a vehicle on I-85 for a traffic violation near the northbound weigh station. During the traffic stop, Lavonia Police Department K9 Lobo alerted to the presence of illegal drugs in the vehicle. A search was conducted on the vehicle, and approximately one kilogram of methamphetamine was found. Franklin County Sheriff Scott Andrews said Lindsey Brooke Morgan of Pickens County, SC was arrested by Franklin County Sheriff’s deputies. Morgan is charged with Trafficking Methamphetamine. Andrews said this is the second time in two months that Morgan has been arrested for drugs in Franklin County. Lavonia Police spokesman Lt. Wayne Mitchum said Officer Lobo was rewarded for his work in finding the drugs with a pup cup.
