All incidents occurred during a fourteen-day manhunt in wooded areas of Tangipahoa Parish and Pike County, Mississippi. Deputy Sharp had overheard, via radio traffic, of a complaint on East Lewiston Road, Kentwood LA, in which the complainant advised the fugitive was at his back door asking for water and asking to use his phone. Deputy Sharp responded to the area to attempt to assist in apprehending the fugitive. While on East Lewiston Road, Deputy Sharp again was advised, via radio traffic, that a Louisiana State Trooper had spotted the fugitive behind a residence on East Lewiston near Brumfield Lane, and the man had fled on foot into a wooded area near the listed ntersection. Upon arrival, Deputy Sharp was advised by Detective Mike Moore that the fugitive had fled into a wooded area behind a residence and pointed out where the fugitive had entered the woods. Deputy Sharp weighed the following factors and determined K-9 force was warranted to attempt an apprehension of Magee. 1. Magee was wanted for numerous felony charges, including several counts of attempted murder on police. 2. Magee had broken into several residences in the area and had confronted at least two of the residents with a handgun. 3. Magee was believed to be armed with several weapons he had taken during burglaries in the area. Deputy Sharp then deployed his K-9 partner, Titan, into the wooded area pointed out by Detective Moore. Deputy Sharp was assisted with the track by Louisiana Trooper Lamarca. Upon entering the wooded area, K-9 Titan began to track, pulling hard northbound through the wooded area to an area of very thick brush. Deputy Sharp, knowing the fugitive was armed and had fired at officers several times, decided to release K-9 Titan from his tracking lead to clear the area in front of himself and Trooper Lamarca. Deputy Sharp and Trooper Lamarca continued following K-9 Titan as he continued tracking northbound through the thick brush. Both men then heard a single gunshot go off in the brush where K-9 Titan was tracking. Deputy Sharp and Trooper Lamarca immediately took cover, and Deputy Sharp began calling for the dog. After several calls to K-9 Titan, the dog returned to Deputy Sharp with blood covering his right leg. Deputy Sharp observed K-9 Titan had been shot in the head, observing an entry point next to the dog’s right eye and an exit wound to the right side of his neck. Despite his injury, K-9 Titan attempted to resume his track of the suspect at which time Deputy Sharp had to call him a second time. Via radio traffic, Deputy Sharp advised that K-9 Titan had been shot. Deputy Sharp then picked up K-9 Titan and rushed him out of the wooded area to Detective Mike Moore's unit. The dog was transported to Kentwood Veterinary Clinic, where he was stabilized and then transferred to Louisiana Veterinary Referral Center in Mandeville, LA. Upon arrival, K-9 Titan was treated for shock, stabilized a second time, and was taken into surgery, where his right eyelid was repaired and the exit wound closed. Deputy Sharp was advised by Dr. David Kergosien (LAVRC) that Titan had been shot at point blank range and that the bullet missed his right eye by less than 1 cm. The dog was kept for treatment overnight and released to the care of Deputy Sharp on 10/20/2011. Upon his release, K-9 Titan required several weeks of eye treatments for burns with (5) different eye drops being administered by Deputy Sharp multiple times per day. The burns resulted from the muzzle blast of the weapon, which damaged his right eye. Deputy Sharp was later advised by Detective Moore that upon the fugitive’s apprehension, he stated K-9 Titan had bitten him, and he attempted to fight him off, but the dog refused to release the bite, at which time he shot K-9 Titan in the head. Deputy Sharp was also advised by Trooper Lamarca that he believed Deputy Sharp’s decision to release K-9 Titan to clear the area had prevented the fugitive from firing at both of the officers. For his tenacity, bravery, and selfless dedication, K-9 Titan is chosen to receive The Case of the Year and The Valor Award. ___ Monza Award K-9 Killed in the Line of Duty Sponsored by American Aluminum Deputy Ken Hertweck - K-9 Trax Vanderburgh County SO, IN According to a Sheriff's Office new release, Deputy Kevin Hertweck went to a home in the 3900 block of Old Henderson Road to a serve a warrant to revoke the probation of Raymond Hill, 39. Vanderburgh County Sheriff Eric Williams said while deputies were trying to serve the warrant, Hill released three pit bulls, which immediately attacked the dog, Trax, and Hertweck. During the exchange, Hertweck drew his gun and fired a round in an attempt to save Trax from the pit bulls. At the same time, Trax jumped and was struck by the round, killing him instantly, Williams said. Hertweck had been Trax’s handler since the dog joined the K-9 unit. “It’s a big deal to our office and our people,” said Williams. “That dog was incredibly important to us.” Williams commented on the tragedy of the situation, saying “there’s a special bond that occurs between the dog and its handler.” “That was his partner, they worked together, they went home together,” Williams said. Trax was buried Friday. ___ Bill Robinson Memorial Award for Sportsmanship Sponsored by Ace K‐9 Harry Barraclough – Pensacola PD, FL 2011 To op Dog K K‐9 Ghosst – Handled by Matt Ho olten Austin PD, M MN P Portrait o of a Champion Th his portraait is pressented byy Chris Ch hantland http:///chrischantland.ccom/ .
