Petersburg Sheriff\u2019s Office mourning the loss of K-9, Tex<\/p>\n
The Petersburg Sheriff\u2019s Office is mourning the loss of K-9, Tex, after he passed away Sunday morning. Tex was an Explosive Detection K-9 and had been with the Sheriff\u2019s Office since 2009. His death was attributed to causes in which German Shepherds often succumb to without warning. The dog\u2019s trainer and partner Corporal Myron Green has been with Tex since the beginning. Tex graduated from the Virginia State Police K-9 training academy in 2010 and continued to undergo training on a regular basis since that time. \u201cTex was a great asset to the community and to law enforcement in and around the city of Petersburg,\u201d Sheriff Vanessa Crawford said. She said Tex provided service to the Petersburg community and the entire state, while serving our brothers and sisters in blue. \u201cLosing Tex was not only a personal loss for Deputy Green and the Sheriff\u2019s Office, it also takes away another crime-fighter from this community,\u201d the Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a press release.A memorial service will be held for Tex on Wednesday, January 20, at 2:00 p.m. at the Petersburg Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
