The Belgian Malinois named Rocco made the massive finding in his third month with the Blue Island police force
The employee of the month at Blue Island Police Department is a toy obsessed 6-year-old. A Belgian Malinois named Rocco found 498 pounds of marijuana last week in what police Chief Geoffery Farr said is the largest K-9 drug bust in Blue Island history. Farr did not disclose much about the active investigation into the origin of the massive drug haul. No charges were filed as of Friday. Officer Miles O’Brien, a certified K-9 officer with the Blue Island police, is Rocco’s handler.

And yet, like every social media star, Rocco has his detractors, with many commenters pointing out that marijuana is legal in the state of Illinois. While the quantity that was discovered is well over the legal limit of 30 grams of raw cannabis, the nation’s changing legal policy could pose a challenge for a dog trying to discern between legal and criminal activity.
