crime [Music] well Captain this is a story that took place last year and one that I've been
pretty upset about because it has made no progress in the year that has passed so this information Captain is from Fox
16 news and the melver Daily Journal this is about the hot spring County Arkansas Sheriff's Office they say the
sheriff's office is mourning the loss of one of its own a nearly four-year-old K9
Deputy named Lucky the K-9 had been with the sheriff's office for a couple of years but only with his Handler since
February of 2017 Sheriff Mike Cash said since the dog's death the dog's Handler is no
longer with the Department Sheriff cash said it has nothing to do with Lucky's death but won't say whether the deputy
quit or whether the deputy was fired Sheriff cash said lucky was found dead in the backyard of his Handler's home on
Sunday evening July 23rd 2017 so almost a year ago lucky was reportedly tied up in the deputy's yard
when he was found dead Sheriff cash provided additional details on the death of the dog saying luy's blood was found
on his leg when he was found by his Handler reports on Lucky's cause of death vary however
the initial necropsy performed by Arkansas livestock and poultry commission several days after lucky was
found dead questions whether heat stroke or gunshot wounds were a factor in its death upon further examination the
preliminary preliminary report concluded that lucky died of blunt force trauma but then 2 months later another necropsy
was performed with inconclusive results the Arkansas livestock and poultry commission says it does not discuss the
specifics of any of their cases so was it a gunshot wound you know did somebody shoot this dog was it blunt force trauma
or was it heat stroke because the initial reports came out that it might have been heat stroke this dog was tied
up in the Handler's backyard for the course of the weekend and we're talking about hot Arkansas summer July of last
year we're talking 95 96 97 degrees we had a weekend just this last weekend we were what 96 997 and it felt like it was
about 105 out there you could cook an egg on my on my driveway yeah and this this canine Officer was left outside the
Handler States just for that day however there are reports that have come out that said the dog was chained up in the
backyard for the cour of the weekend well now I'm no FY Malik but I could tell you if I was in charge of this
autopsy I could tell you whether or not the dog died from blood force trauma or heat stroke well it it it's a very
sticky situation and what I mean by that is there's some thought that something happened to this dog the dog was
murdered okay in my opinion you're not going to change my opinion on that regardless of whether it was heat stroke
blunt force trauma or gunshot I think this dog was was killed now if it was heat stroke it might not have been
intentional right um but the they have certain protocols and procedures for how these animals these canine Officer is to
be handled right and these were not they they did not adhere to these uh protocols so let's let's get into this a
little bit because the sheriff said that the Handler had his mother feed the dog
in the morning and give the dog water when the Handler got back home this is about 5 hours later lucky who had been
with the department since September of 2015 was dead the dog was quote the dog was fine at 130 p.m. said Sheriff cash
he was running and playing Sheriff cash said the Handler saw lucky earlier that day the Handler this is Officer Michael
Morgan apparently was gone for most of the day then then Sher then the sheriff seems to believe that the blunt force
trauma findings over over the heat stroke findings so what I mean by that is Sheriff cash who runs this Sheriff's
Department right he's he's the head honcho he's the guy that's supposed to be in charge here the big cheese he's
the guy that's supposed to give a [ __ ] about officer lucky more than anybody else and what what he is saying is he
seems to believe that the blunt force findings are what is more accurate we can't get we can't get positive
information on how this dog died in the beginning here what and why we know that he thinks
that it was blunt force trauma was because his own words Sheriff Cash's words are look this dog suffered blunt
force trauma that's the cause of its death and he was chained up at the time when this trauma would have occurred
because his statements are typically with blunt force trauma being the cause of death of an animal it's from being
hit by a car you know it wanders out into the street or tries to cross the street and a and a
car hits the animal right this this dog could not have been hit by a vehicle if it's chained up in the backyard somebody
attacked this dog in my opinion now Sheriff Cash's words these this is his words Lucky had food in water he also
had his dog house a tree for shade and a hanging tarp mhm so the initial theory was that this death was heat related in
spite of the presence of shade and water but testing like we said eventually concluded that heat was not a factor
what is strange here though is we still have these rumors of the dog being shot and then later being told that it was
blunt force trauma that killed officer lucky well it seems like the first findings weren't conclusive and then the
second findings of the autopsy they're not even sharing with us yeah and here's here's my guess you know it
even though Sheriff cash seems to be spending little time effort and resources on this case he must somewhere
in his heart believe this is a murder because whether or not he is aware of his choice of words when he he's been
cornered a few times and asked to give some explanation as to what has happened and he sits down very very calm at his
desk and he he answers the questions and he he shies away from some questions um
but he's using words like he's used words like suspects and Alibi saying luy's Handler Michael Morgan has an
alibi as he was reportedly with people when they believe this trauma occurred stating that Michael Morgan has receipts
for purchases from about the time to verify his whereabouts and here we go where cash says quote there are no
suspects and sheriff and the sheriff's office is still trying to find out who all is involved going as far to ask
anyone with information to call the hotring county sheriff's office at 501 33777 38 yeah I I I think if you got
information I would call somebody else because I've been following this thing and Sheriff cash does not seem overly
concerned with solving this crime this murder this is the murder of an officer of a fellow officer in his Department
under Sheriff Cash's watch and from my perspective Sheriff cash carries himself like he's got far too more important
items on his to-do list to spend the time and effort to get Justice for one of his officers for K9 Officer lucky who
served the hotring County Sheriff's Office and that community and really the thing that I think that Sheriff cash
fails to understand here is it look man you're an you are an elected official all right I'm sure he understands that
well I I'm sure he understands that he doesn't understand this next next part he has an opportunity to be a good
leader and that he is not he has an opportunity to show his officers that look under my watch you will be
protected this department will have your back and guess what this this canine Officer lucky is
killed and he doesn't seem to be spending any time to get Justice for that life for the community and here's
the thing the only difference between officer lucky and the other officers on the sheriff's department was the fern
no all those other officers the the the men and women that are serving they signed up to be a sheriff they shed up
signed up to be a deputy officer lucky was asked he was asked to be an officer right but he's a he's not really
ask as much it's like we're just going to make you officer right how can you really ask a dog to be an officer well
they do they do they they when when these when animal is taken to be uh an officer these dogs are sent through some
hardcore training and some of the dogs do not pass the training so in a way you're almost asking the dog to to serve
because it because officer lucky was smart enough and worked hard enough to learn the training to to pass the school
to become become an officer all right so the Handler of Lucky has an alibi right
and we think that is good enough again we don't know if this is blunt force trauma we don't know if there's a
gunshot we don't know well I'm guessing there is no gunshot I'm guessing it is blunt force trauma and um I think if it
was a gun shot we probably would have heard about that or at least had some eyewitness of hearing a gunshot in that
area around that time yeah and and like you said is that good enough it sounds like it's good enough for Sheriff cash
um I don't think it's good enough for the community because like I said he's been cornered in question about this
ever since August of he kind of came under Fire for this around August of last year you know it took place Late
July but it was I think September end of August where there started to be some questions about this autopsy that had
taken place in in the actual cause of death for this canine Officer now go ahead well I was just going to say let's
be clear the one of the reasons why this is important is if um a K9 unit came into your house let's say you're a drug
dealer let's say you're you know selling the nose candy to the local neighborhood kids and here
comes K9 lucky into your house and you shot him and you killed him you're going to go away for a lot longer than if you
just even killed a person that walked into your house this is a officer of the law so let's just be clear about that
well and here's the thing I I believe you know with any officer we should hold them in higher regard as to the way they
treat others but we also we also should hold them in high regard to how they are
treated when they are working and on duty off duty I don't care if if something happens to an officer of the
law I want to know why who and why and can we prosecute this person now Tony Smith he's the owner of the Little Rock
K9 Academy he's the the one that brought Lucky from overseas as a puppy and trained him to be a Narcotics uh
detection tracking and protection dog so this so lucky had many jobs let's say and Tony Smith quote says it's always
sad to hear of a law enforcement dog passing away in a premature death but this this is disheartening because he
says that a good Handler class will teach how teach the Handler how to secure the dog properly at home and some
of these measures including getting a dog boarded at a veterinarian office so let's go through this okay kind of back
back to the beginning Sheriff Mike Cash took office January 1st 2017 okay at that time most of the
deputies the active deputies of that Sheriff's Department were either fired or they quit when Mike Cash took over
okay at the time they had two certified can9 handlers both of these officers left the sheriff's department mhm well
when that sounds pretty fishy when the handlers left uhhuh what happened was we still have two canine officers active
canine officers we have lucky and we have panto okay now lucky was assigned to this former this now former deputy
Michael Morgan he was a new hire at the time and he had never attended the criminal justice Ice Academy nor did he
have any canine experience at all mhm so to be assigned a trained canine Officer
to a Handler with no training in my opinion this is this is dangerous it's irresponsible right it's it's it's not a
healthy situation for the community for the Handler or the dog or the canine Officer now former deputy Michael Morgan
he kept lucky on a chain in his backyard with him having no training or no experience himself they're supposed to
work with these dogs a certain number of hours a week just on like training exercises right and was he doing any of
that I doubt it uh this officer went away for to be fair though you don't know I I don't
know but it doesn't sound like he's being handled properly right from from an outsider looking in not to mention
the weekend that the dog died Deputy Morgan went away for a weekend motorcycle trip to Oklahoma okay this is
where I have a problem with Sheriff cash how come you're telling me that that the officer was there for portions
of that day and we have other reports stating that the officer was out of town for the entire weekend MH which one is
it and can you just come out and be clear about it right so he leaves the dog chained up in his backyard with his
mother supposedly to tend to the dog now we have Sheriff Cash's words saying that
there was water and food in the dog's bowls when when the when lucky was found dead who found the dog I it sounds to me
like the Handler found the dog like he returned from his trip and then the dog is dead and here's the problem though
there's other than Sheriff cash right all the other reports state that there was no water in the dog's bowl there was
no food in the dogs ball which may not mean anything but but why why do we have a
conflicting story yeah but I don't know I it wouldn't be too much maybe the Handler
sees the dog sees that dead calls it in starts cleaning up the dog stuff MH I don't know well and here's the other
thing I don't know about this specific location about this specific area but most police departments usually have
protocols in place for a canine when the Handler is away most require the canine
to be boarded at an approved facility or stay with another Handler mhm but they're giving it to a Handler that's
not even a Handler right so the responsibility on this Handler is you know irresponsible in the first place so
I'm just guessing if this is what they're dealing with they don't they don't have certain protocols that or
they probably have them they just don't have the means to follow them well and add to the confusion Deputy Morgan like
we said now former deputy Morgan he has a somewhat colorful history himself including a order of
rainbow order of protection against him from one of his Ex-Wives H he has a number of traffic violations and he is
no longer with the sheriff's department because and this is I'm quoting an article here because I don't have the
exact information in front of me because of an alleged criminal act for which no
charges have been filed by the sheriff's department I don't know what that criminal act is or if it's even real
because they didn't file any charges it is again it's alleged but not only not only is this guy not qualified to
ridiculous wait wait we think this guy did a crime so we're going to fire him but we're not charging him with the
crime well we don't know if they fired him the the Sheriff's Office what's the crime I don't I don't know what the
crime is but the but the thing too that's confusing is the sheriff's office will not even say exactly why he would
this guy was let go yeah it might be for the murder of this dog well it but that's what I alleged I mean you you
said it yourself it's alleged criminal activity it's alleged crime it could be that simple and I think that's when we
first me and you first talked about this case I said no I don't want to throw the
sheriff under the bus too much because this is a difficult situation to deal with and if he figured out that one of
his officers the Handler that he put in charge of a dog but he knows that this Handler does not
have the proper training for this dog that and then you find out that the Handler killed the dog well now once we
got rid of him now Morgan is gone the problem is gone it's obviously not going to happen again and you know does he owe
his um Community answers I think so I don't know if you're going to get him well here's the thing here's the problem
for Sheriff cash he is going to have to go up for reelection at some point at the end of this year he his term is over
MH so he's going to have to ask the community to sign him up for the job once again how old is he though cuz he
might be thinking that's true he might think hey you know this is a little too much I mean you become sheriff and half
the people quit or get fired I mean this is this doesn't sound like a department
that's running on the up and up anyways okay mean how do you have two K9 uh handlers quit at the same time unless
he's that much of a dick you know [ __ ] face well it sounds to me and I didn't know this it sounds to me that when a
new sheriff there's a new sheriff in town when there's a new sheriff um the new sheriff in town that the
deputies under the old regime can either stay on or or move to a different you know sheriff's office or relocate or
whatever that they can stay on or the sheriff can determine who they keep on it's almost like a like a football coach
in the NFL you know when new new guy shows up some of the old guys are gone all of a sudden and that sounds to me
like that's the situation here um at least that's how it's reported now here's another issue that I have with
Sheriff Mike Cash when he's cornered when he's asked the tough questions about officer lucky he's he he then goes
on to complain that you know our office my office has been flooded with with calls for almost a year about this
situation right and he states that he believes that it's it's uh just these crazy animal lovers or
he's stating that a lot of the heat is coming from people who support his opponent this is Woody Perry is going to
be his opponent um which which look he's he's sitting down in front of a camera he has the opportunity to educate the
community about what has happened to show the community that his department will stop at nothing to protect its
officers instead he uses the time to complain about his his his opponent in the upcoming election and then the other
thing this is another thing that KATV has been all over this and I and I commend them I Pat them on the
backs but um on the butttocks well listen to this Captain because this is super weird and I say I'm going to say so how
did can the canine Officer die that is a good question we've been over it a little bit but this this is one thing
that we've not covered yet KATV has they've seen the case File from the Sheriff's Office and here's what they've
had to say in their reports that they had come across body cam audio not the actual vi video just the audio from a
body camera on one of the officers this was and it captures hotring County investigators talking to Officer Morgan
the the Handler at his home upon learning of the dogs death on the recording an investigator can be heard
saying to Morgan quote if we don't ask what is everyone going to say you're a policeman we are trying to find out what
happened and that's all this show is sponsored by better help do you look forward to the holidays

2023 seems like Officer Morgan was a little dodgy about being asked tough questions
about what could have happened to the dog and according to the case File investigators at the scene noted that
Morgan left for the entire weekend this is from the case File according to K left for the weekend and left Lucky in
the care of someone else records state that lucky was left leashed and tethered in the yard the case File also notes his
food and water bowls both appeared to have been empty and empty for some time right investigators also observed a
significant amount of blood on Lucky's body along with a small hole behind his left ear on the body cam audio an
investigator can be heard saying to Morgan quote I'm going to tell you and you don't tell anyone this part but
lucky was shot Michael we aren't treating you like a suspect but the dog was shot and we need to know who done it
end quote right so is this information that they can prove I mean they're saying that they're seeing this from a
camera is this is camera information out there to the public or is this just what
they're reporting it they're repor in that's what they've reported and they've they've reported that they've heard the
audio that was on that body cam right and that's what the audio says now we're mind you we're only hearing
pieces of that we're only getting told pieces of that it'd be interesting to hear the entire thing because if we're
to believe what KATV is saying then it sounds like not only did Morgan Officer Morgan he may have killed the dog he may
have murdered the dog or two that the investigator that showed up that was asking Morgan questions was kind
of maybe on Morgan's side a little bit it sounds like he it sounds like he's asking him tough questions but he's also
saying hey look we're we're not saying you're a suspect uh I'm going to tell I'm going to tell you this you can't
tell don't tell anyone but this dog was shot yeah and well they could have been friends you don't know well I mean I
think the tough thing here is if he did Kill the dog if the Handler killed the dog mhm now the Handler is
gone he doesn't work there anymore I don't know what the punishment would have been uh with lucky not being on
duty but being off duty I don't know what the punishment would be and that's why I wonder if sheriff is just thinking
this guy's gone he's not going to be a problem for me anymore and maybe legally he can't come out you just can't may
maybe they don't have definitive proof that he killed the dog but that's what they suspect but he's gone anyways but I
can't then just go hey by the way the dog was killed oh really then who was he killed by I can't throw this guy under I
can't say the guy's name and then people would give him [ __ ] for not saying the
guy's name and then if he did say the guy's name and they don't have any proof guess what there's a
lawsuit so I think they know what happened and I I think their hands are tied probably on
why they can why they can't release this information well the another guy weighed
in on this giving his opinion and this is Academy trainer Jim McAn and he says he he trained lucky to become a k
officer he contacted KATV to say that the dog's death in his opinion was suspicious and saying quote this
department was handling this case instead of having an Outside Agency come and inv investigate the way that it
should have been done and he goes on to say quote if they had done that there wouldn't be an issue right now and I
think he's exactly right and I I don't know standard procedure down there but I would believe that you would want an
outside agency to come in and look at this case because a couple things could happen here what if there was wrongdoing
by anybody inside your department they could easily cover anything up now if you have an outside agency look
at this then everybody after the fact can stand back and go look we understand why no charges were pressed we we we
understand that somebody came in and looked at this without bias came in there and looked at this
without bias and made a ruling made a decision and decided that no charges could be pressed in this situation
rather than handling it by yourself right letting the department take a look at it yourself now now
KATV so okay according to the case File this is more strange business according to the case file an investigator took
photos at the scene where lucky died now KATV requested those photos but Sheriff
cash said in a letter and in an interview as well that the photos did not exist stating quote I haven't got
the pictures and they're not in the file back there I don't know if the investigator took them with his phone or
what meaning his personal cell phone right he States the investigator no longer works here right but I I don't
think again that to me that doesn't make the department look Shady or make the sheriff look
Shady this is what happened and we had an investigation and and I'm sure uh you know if look if this was a a
murder scene which it should have just been treated like one right right but but it seems like this
department was like well it's a dog so this is we're going to dis investigate it differently yeah and I think that
that's what I'm having an issue with and I think that's what so many other people
have a big problem with is is exactly that what you just described it's if if Sheriff cash treated officer lucky like
an officer this would have been handled much differently and instead his look is
well it's just a dog it's just a dog that's at least that's the that's what he's putting out there he's not stating
that but that's what I kind of see the effort being made here yeah but he's the one that kind of I mean he could have
just from the beginning just said hey dog died from heat exhaustion this was an accident you know we're really sorry
blah blah blah and hey by the way the Handler's gone so we don't have to deal with that anymore right mhm he could
have done that and that would have been treating it as like it's just a dog mhm but he did come out and say hey look I
think there's something more to this it wasn't just heat exhaustion he's then the one that says not only do I not
think it's heat exhaustion but there was water and there was food he was the one
that said that right again pointing away from the heat exhaustion I think it like
I said before it's as simple to me as here's a guy that his hands are tied and he knows probably more than he wants to
know and he and now he can't share that with with the public well if the can n trainer that we quoted earlier if he is
correct in his statement stating that an outside agency should have been brought
in if that's normal procedure if if he's correct in that statement then I think there is
wrongdoing here yeah but what's the relationship between the sheriff and the then the police officer the Handler you
just I don't I don't know were they friends don't know and and is that enough of a reason that the person would
say okay yes this guy is maybe a little violent maybe a little a bit of an alcoholic or I don't know I'm just
speculating and I'm just saying is it possible that they have some kind of relationship and he didn't want to see
the guy's life get ruined because of a horrible um one horrible action mhm well and like you said you did point out
something very good there and it's and it's obvious but it's good is the you can suspect all you want different
things but what can you prove and what evidence do you have to to point the finger at somebody and tell you what
what actually happened in this situation and who's to blame for it right and my point is is that if you have all these
pieces they have more information than we have right yeah Sheriff has more information than we have and So based
off that information that he has I think he knows who's responsible and that guy
is gone and again you can't then give all the answer to the public because guess who's going to sue your ass CU
because you're making claims that you can't prove you didn't press charges you didn't do all these things and if you
come out and say we think the Handler shot the dog we think he murdered this dog mhm then if you can't prove that you
got a lawsuit on your hands mhm and and then guess who's not going to get reelected
anyways right I see I see what you're saying but the pro the the problem I have here is we have a case File that
states that there were pictures taken of the crime scene right right well that's
allegedly right no this this is according to KATV they're stating we've seen we were
able to review the case File and in that case File is where we found this body cam audio with the strange questions and
the statement of the dog being shot and we also have some somewhere in there it's written that there were
photos taken at the at the scene so what here's where I have a big problem okay one an officer's
murdered two these the the case File is now incomplete we know it's incomplete because of several reasons it states at
one time there were pictures of the crime scene they're not in that file anymore why not right okay but who who
do you hold responsible for that I hold Sheriff cash responsible for that it's his Department well I know it's he has
an incomplete case File he has a Handler that was not trained to be a Handler doesn't even sound like the the guy was
trained to be an officer of the law we who's no longer with the Department we have an investigator who
supposedly investigated this murder of Officer lucky who's no longer with the Department I look I'm just saying if
this thing was handled this poorly I wonder how they're handling other situations down there right you know
what I mean hopefully they're not handling anything I don't I don't think that this suggest that there's some big
huge major cover up on Sheriff Cash's part what I what I think it's evidence of is his his lack of ability to be a
good leader yeah but sometimes you're fighting a battle with your hands tied behind your back you show up half the
people leave or get fired and now you have a situation that you have this guy that's underqualified to to handle a dog
but you have to have somebody do it and then this guy ends up possibly being a giant huge piece of [ __ ] right and so
now we got this dead dog now what we do about it so now we have an investigator and he investigates it where did he go
we don't know if he got fired or if he quit we don't know where did the pictures go we don't know right and so
now you got all these questions that are being brought to you and you got all these you know [ __ ] dildo heads
running and you know helping you run this department and you have to answer for all these people you know yes that's
your job to lead yes it's your job to try to get it together but you know I don't want to throw this guy under the
bus too hard because we don't know what he's working with well I I see what you're saying but but the results the
results that we're getting are not good enough and he's the leader the results that we're getting at the end of the day
okay but here okay I'm just going to play Devil's out if he knows what happened right 100%
knows but he can't prove it then what do you want him to do um I would like I would like that
that's a good enough explanation for me actually look we we think some wrongdoing happened here we can't prove
anything well but he kind of said it I mean he he he he basically told he could have went with the theory that the dog
you know died from heat exhaustion right right he could have went with that theory he did not go with that theory he
was you know pretty clear that hey something happened here and yeah now is he not answering
the next question again I think possibly that could be because of a lawsuit I'm not saying to Tar and feather the guy
I'm just saying that he was elected to do to perform a job as the sheriff of this entire
department at the end of the day the results of of what's going on in the department and the results of how
they're handling situations right they're not good enough they're not good enough for you to be the sheriff anymore
is what I'm stating I I I don't I'm not saying we need to prosecute this guy and
and send him to send him off to jail forever and and throw away the key I'm just saying the job that he asked the
community to do to hey elect me to hold this position um oh and by the way an officer will
ends up dead and regardless of what happened we have an incomplete case File we have two
officers that are no longer with the Department we have people people being canine officers handlers that are not
not trained to do so right and like I said it it doesn't have it has more to do with what else is going on down there
if this if this was handled this poorly what how else are they handling things and like you said it's it appears to me
like this dude took over I'm the new sheriff and I'm just going to mail it in for a couple years and hopefully I get
reelected but it doesn't work that way Sheriff cash it doesn't work that way you either do a good job or you don't
and if you don't you're out right but I don't live there I don't know what he's doing on a day-to-day basis I don't know
uh what the community feels about his work ethic or what he's doing in their community and I don't know if this is
just a black eye on that or if this is the [Music] norm well captain I appreciate you
sitting down with me and discussing the case of Officer lucky I hope that they find Justice for officer lucky at some
point and maybe by us getting together today keeps this case alive keeps the story alive and we can finally get
answers that the community deserves officer lucky deserved a officer's sendoff an officer's funeral which I
reviewed that and it was lackluster he didn't receive the proper sendoff in my opinion so if you live in that area get
involved call somebody keep this case alive we wanted to present this because technically we were supposed to be off
this week Captain right um it's a beautiful holiday week hey wait was I supposed to be recording happy 4th of
July to everybody I hope everybody has a safe and happy 4th of July but we wanted
to make sure that we brought this case up and kept it alive now I think we should leave on a happy note today and
point out just how important these K9 officers such as officer lucky R and this is from Hancock County and
Mississippi so a Hancock County Mississippi sheriff's deputy this is Todd Frasier is alive today because of
his can9 partner who was free to save his life as three men were about to murder him the deputy spots this is how
the story goes down the deputy spots a lone male sitting behind the wheel in a parked car near a rest stop as he
investigates the situation two men approach and begin to talk to him as the men distract Deputy F Frasier the driver
of the car gets out and the three men then Ambush the deputy they tell Frasier that he is going to die that they are
going to slit his throat as the three men begin to drag the officer toward the nearby Woods to carry out their heinous
plan Frasier is able to free his hand he hits a button that automatically opens the door to his vehicle where his K9
partner Lucas is witnessing the crime through the window without hesitation Lucas jumps
into action charges the three men biting them and successfully aborts the attack
on the officer's life and for everybody that's wondering yes I'm signing Frank up to try to be a K9
Officer and I hope everybody has a good Fourth of July and we will see everybody
back here in the garage next week until then be good be kind and don't litter [Music]

Officer Luky ////// 221

Part 1 of 1

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com (http://www.TrueCrimeGarage.com)

Who killed officer Luky? Luky was a K-9 Officer for the Hot Spring County Sheriff’s department for two years. In July 2017 his handler left for an out of town trip. The sheriff’s deputy left Luky chained up in his backyard on a 98 degree day. When the deputy returned home he found Luky dead. The cause of death is bizarre. In the beginning we heard rumor and speculation that it was heat stroke or maybe a gunshot. We are told this was blunt force trauma. What really happened to officer Luky?
