In Lubbock, Texas, police body cam footage captured a humorous encounter where officers on horseback confronted a man suspected of carrying narcotics. When the man refused a pocket search, an officer jokingly mentioned having a “narcotic-smelling horse,” prompting the suspect to flee. However, he quickly realized he couldn’t outrun the horse and was promptly apprehended, turning the clip into a viral sensation.
The Lubbock Police Department shared the video on Facebook, playfully noting the effectiveness of their “K-hay unit.” While it’s unclear if the horse was truly trained to detect drugs, the officer’s quick wit successfully led to the suspect’s capture. This amusing incident highlights a uniquely Texan twist on traditional narcotic-sniffing K-9 units.
