The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office says one of their K9 officers that retired about a month ago died suddenly over the weekend. Chief Deputy Ben Houchin says Sacha was staying with her handler and had a tumor that ruptured.
“She did a lot of good work, protected us and she also found large quantities of narcotics and illegal cash up there on the interstate. She will be missed.”
Houchin says Sasha started with the department in 2012. She worked patrol and during the last several years of her career she worked with LSO’s Criminal Interdiction Unit on I-80.
