Police dogs find no drugs at Struthers schools

STRUTHERS — Police dogs from the city and several other police departments converged on the high school and middle schools this morning for a drug sniff. The drug sweep wasn’t based on any complaints, said police Chief Tim Roddy.

The police dogs, including those from McDonald, Hubbard, Canfield, Youngstown and Mahoning County, train together every month and were going to be together anyway today in the city, he explained.

Police officials notified the schools and went in to check lockers and cars in the parking lots. As far as the dogs were concerned, the schools were clean. “They didn’t hit on one single thing,” Roddy said.
