The dog recovered about 20 ounces of crack cocaine and digital scales were found inside the vehicle, Cunningham said.
Police also recovered more than $6,800 in cash from the vehicle, Cunningham said.
Burton was charged with felony drug abuse/cocaine, drug paraphernalia, and tinted windows. A pre-trial hearing on all three charges are scheduled for next month in Middletown Municipal Court.
Middletown Police Chief Rodney Muterspaw said on the department’s Facebook page, “Another drug dealer off the street thanks to the great work by Patrol & K9. We appreciate their “donation” to help fund the fight against their fellow dealers. #StayoutofMiddletown.”
