The Henry County Sheriff’s Office would like to congratulate K9 “Rudy” in his first drug case!
The Sheriff’s Office acquired 2 new K9s last year and the K9 teams began their training in Dothan in early January. Rudy and his partner Deputy LaRose and K9 “Hamu” and partner Deputy Fisher, completed their 3 month long training and certification at Dothan PD on Friday.
On March 18, 2025 at approximately 6:47pm Deputies with the Henry County Sheriff’s Office S.P.A.D.E. Unit, conducted a traffic stop on US Highway 431 near County Road 212. As a result of the traffic stop, Deputies seized approximately 30lbs of Marijuana. Alfedan Akinlosose, age 32, of Atlanta, Georgia, was arrested and charged with Drug Trafficking. He was booked into the Henry County Jail on $150,000 bond.
“I would like to commend the work of our K9 team. These dogs are amazing, in their 1st week they are already proving how valuable they will be to our agency. The Sheriff’s Pro-Active Drug Enforcement (S.P.A.D.E.) unit will continue to do everything we can to keep our streets drug free and keep drugs out of the hands of our children.”- Sheriff Eric Blankenship
