Byron K-9 had its own Valentine's gift for handler; sniffs out a kilo of crystal meth

A police dog sniffed out about $120,000 worth of suspected crystal methamphetamine during a traffic stop on Valentine's Day.

Kaci Tolbert, of Rome, was charged with trafficking methamphetamine, a felony, and simple possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor, in the 6:30 p.m. traffic stop Wednesday on Ga. 49, according to a Peach County Sheriff's Office Facebook post.

Deputy Brandon Williams got help from Byron police Officer Wes Griffis and his K-9, the post said. The police dog alerted the men to the passenger side of the vehicle where the kilo of crystal methamphetamine and a small amount of marijuana was found.
