Deputy Gary Garboski and his K-9 partner Molly work the streets of Levy County searching for drugs being transported in vehicles. This past weekend was no exception. Molly depends on her partner to stop the cars, but finding drugs in a vehicle is all up to her. She does the hard work and then makes Deputy Garboski finish the paperwork.

Over this past weekend, Molly and Deputy Garboski made four drug arrests. Deputy Garboski conducted a traffic stop on Main Street in Chiefland. During the stop Molly gave Deputy Garboski her signal that she smelled drugs in the vehicle. Deputy Garboski arrested Ronald Fowler (2/22/89) for possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Christopher Lee (7/18/89), who was also in the same vehicle with Fowler, was found in possession of a misdemeanor amount of marijuana and issued a Notice To Appear in court.

Deputy Garboski conducted a traffic stop on North Hathaway Avenue later in the evening in Bronson, and Molly found drugs in this vehicle, too. Nicholas Galloway (1/3/99) was arrested for possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Marie Blueford (10/1/98), a passenger in the vehicle, was issued a Notice To Appear in court for possession of drug paraphernalia.

Sheriff McCallum vowed his dedication to arresting those who choose to transport, use or sell narcotics in Levy County. He outfits his men and women with the best equipment available. Special K-9’s, like Molly, are invaluable tools which help combat the use of narcotics in our county. This weekend’s arrests are typical, and we will continue the fight, using every tool available.
