A Slidell, Louisiana, Police K-9 is being praised for his ability to find a handgun that a suspect reportedly discarded in the woods after opening fire on officers.

Griffin was taken into custody June 16 (2025) by “members of our SWAT/K9 team,” the Slidell PD said on Facebook.

He faces charges of attempted first degree murder of a police officer, as well as firearms, resisting, and domestic violence charges.
