Christy Jackson was charged with 2nd Degree Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance on August 4, 2015 after police retrieved methamphetamine that was partially concealed inside a void in her vehicle’s door.

Officer Dietz went to investigate and detained the truck’s driver, later identified as Jackson, for not having a front license plate. (Left, K9 Dog Vader)
During the detention, Officers observed something suspicious inside a void where a door handle was missing and requested assistance from a Police K9 Team. SAPD K9 Sergeant Chris Cimino and Police Service Dog Vader responded to the request. Vader conducted a “Sniff” search and alerted Officers to the door and they retrieved a small bag that contained suspected methamphetamine. The contents field-tested positive for methamphetamine and weighed approximately 3 grams.
Jackson was transported to the Tom Green County jail without incident.
