Chabe, Mauldin's newest K-9, made his first narcotics bust in June, according to police reports.
During a traffic stop conducted in Ed's Corner Mart at East Butler Road and Hyde Circle, about 3.33 grams of "green leafy substance" were retrieved from a suspect.
Chabe gave a positive alert to the passenger door of the vehicle, according to an incident report.
The suspect was charged with intent to distribute and distribution near a school, according to the report completed by Patrolmen Matthew Henry and Jorge Crumpton.
According to Henry, the dog's handler, this was Chabe's first drug bust since his May 14 arrival at the department
Henry described Chabe as a hard worker who enjoys his job and gets along with everyone at work.
The city was originally going to fund a fourth K-9 as a bomb detection dog, but had to replace the spot that Billy, a black Labrador, left when he died last summer.
Chief Bryan Turner said the department is still planning to add a fourth dog for bomb detection to the squad.
