K-9 helps with arrest

Madera Police Department K-9 Officer Jerron Romias, and his partner Ulf, were hard at work in their battle against narcotics on our streets Tuesday afternoon.

This duo contacted, and arrested, 20-year-old Jose Lorenzo for possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms for sale, and possession of a firearm not registered to Lorenzo.

A few hours later, Officer Nathan Munoz joined their endeavors as he contacted and arrested 18-year-old Andrew Mendoza for possession of marijuana vapes for sale. As a result of his arrest, an unregistered handgun was also recovered.
