Council gets donations for K-9 unit
The Butler Bureau of Police’s K-9 unit received more than $1,000 from community businesses Thursday night, providing a financial bump to the donation-based program.
The Thompson-Miller Funeral Home gave $1,000 at Thursday’s meeting of Butler City Council, and Berkshire Hathaway gave $250 to the K-9 unit.
The K-9 unit is comprised of two police dogs, Rico and Chooch, and their handlers, Andres Niederlander and Brian Grooms. Prior to the meeting, Grooms said the unit recently paid some unexpected expenses, which led Butler business owner Denny Offstein to alert potential donors to the program.
