A traffic stop in Livingston County resulted in an arrest on drug charges thanks to the Sheriff’s Department’s canine Deputy Zaki.

Sheriff Steve Cox says the Missouri State Highway Patrol stopped a vehicle for traffic violations on U.S. Highway 36 near Livingston County Road 405 on July 4.

The trooper requested Deputy Chris Mueller respond with their drug-sniffing dog Deputy Zaki. Cox says Zaki indicated on two areas of the vehicle, and a subsequent search resulted in the seizure of what’s believed to be cocaine.

Cox says Michael Neil McGinnis, 30, of Leawood, Kansas, was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance.

McGinnis is behind bars in lieu of bond at the Daviess Dekalb County Regional Jail.
