An Alabama prison K9 that fell seriously ill after coming into contact with synthetic marijuana during a contraband raid at a state prison has now died.
The Alabama Department of Corrections on Monday announced that the K9 - Jake - died Saturday after developing pneumonia. He was pronounced dead at 3 p.m.
The drug-sniffing dog was part of a team conducting a contraband search late Thursday at Staton Correctional Facility in Elmore County. The raid took place about 9 p.m. when the Alabama Department of Corrections dispatched three emergency response teams to search a housing dorm for contraband, said ADOC spokesman Bob Horton.
During the search, Jake alerted on a powdery substance. Within moments of detecting the substance, the K9 became unresponsive and was immediately transported to the Staton infirmary. Prison officials evacuated the dorm and requested assistance from the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Hazardous Materials (HazMat) Unit.
A test by the HazMat team identified the substance as synthetic marijuana. The HazMat team continued search operations without finding additional contraband and cleared the dorm at approximately 4 a.m. on Friday.
Jake was taken from the Staton infirmary to an area veterinary hospital, and then transported to the Auburn University Veterinary Clinic. Jake’s handler, Sgt. Quinton Jones, said his partner was performing his search when he suddenly became ill after finding the substance. Jones said the quick reaction by medical staff saved Jake’s life.
