Officials gather to remember former Grimes County Sheriff’s Office K-9 officer Bones<\/p>\n
Law enforcement officials gathered Wednesday for a funeral service in honor of a former Grimes County Sheriff’s Office K-9 officer. Bones, a female police dog, worked for the sheriff’s office with her handler, Deputy Steven Siracusa, for four years. She started with the department in 2009 before retiring in 2013. Officials said Bones tracked several fugitives and located a child who was lost in the woods during her tenure. Upon retirement, Bones lived as a pet with Siracusa’s family. She died early last week from old age. According to the sheriff’s office Facebook page, several deputies, state troopers and Madisonville police officers gathered at the sheriff’s office, where Bones was laid to rest at the department’s small K-9 cemetery. A service was officiated by Grimes County chaplain Mac Vaughn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
