At that point the Kennett Police Department’s K-9 Midas was called in. Upon arrival, K-9 Midas gave an immediate alert on the trunk of the vehicle. K-9 Midas also gave a subsequent alert to the driver’s door and then under the driver’s seat giving officers the probable cause needed to search the vehicle.
