He was arraigned in Oldham County District Court this morning and released on his own recognizance.

Police Chief Michael Griffin had asked for his resignation, which he turned in Friday. Colston was the departmentâ??s only canine officer.

â??This alleged misconduct is a disappointment to me and the other 29 officers in the Oldham County Police Department,â?� Griffin said. â??This is a very, very difficult time for all of us.â?�

He may have just been growing for the extra cash.

I did find it funny that he is the only canine officer on the force. Did the dog never bark when it smell cannabis, or was it barking constantly?

Life's little questions...

It's a shame that he got caught. It's always a shame when a grower gets caught, regardless of who it is I guess.

Just more evidence that the "Drug War" is assinine.Everyones using drugs of some sort.Time for the great moral majority to pull there head out of there ass and legalize this shit.Then they can do what they do best.Tax the living shit out of it.

i was thinking the exact same thing.wouldnt the dog smell marijuana on him. maybe he never got high around the dog or his work.

I hope he gets out of this okay, even if he is a cop, there ARE good cops out there.

Unless when he arrested people for possesion, he kept their weed to himself while allowing them to suffer unfair penalities. Then that's a shame.

[Storm Crow]

Perhaps he "retrained" his dog not to bark for pot and a few pot smokers got a free pass?(Can you see someone, walking away to post here later about their "close call" and about how dumb the K9 was- lol)

[blunt smoker]

Not a surprise. He just got caught.
