K9 Outlaw, a narcotics-detection dog with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, just turned a routine stop into a heavyweight drug bust, alerting agents to a stash of packaged marijuana that weighed in at about 649 pounds. Investigators say the shipment was moving through Oklahoma from California and was headed for North Carolina when they intercepted it.
According to KOKH, the bureau credited Outlaw with the interdiction and released photos that were shared with local outlets. The report said investigators connected the load to an interstate trafficking run but did not immediately list any arrests.
What the bureau does
The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) coordinates statewide interdiction and runs specialized K9 teams that assist with highway stops and investigative work, per the agency's Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics website. OBN's public materials describe the bureau's mission as targeting major suppliers and partnering with local and federal law enforcement on trafficking cases, and the agency regularly posts news and social updates on its channels.
Not a one-off for K9 teams
Large seizures are nothing new for OBN's interdiction crews. The bureau's K9 units have helped locate thousands of pounds of black-market marijuana in previous operations. As reported by KFOR via Yahoo, OBN's K9 teams recorded more than 3,000 pounds of drug seizures during one month last summer, underscoring the scale of highway interdiction work.
OBN also cheered on its four-legged officer on social media, writing, "Attaboy, Outlaw!" and local outlets picked up the line along with the bureau's photos and captions. Officials did not immediately release details about arrests, charges, or forfeiture actions, and investigators say the probe into where the shipment originated and who was set to receive it is still active.
