During the next six years of street duty, K9 deputy Maik had over 1,009 deployments. Most notably, he was responsible for a seizure of $265,000 worth of narcotics proceeds hidden in the backseat of a truck and found 2,500 ecstasy pills hidden in pottery in the back of a tractor trailer. K9 Maik also had 5 suspect bites including one in a pond and he brought the suspect to shore.
During his active service, he fell through a roof chasing a burglary suspect (and had his knee totally rebuilt with metal plates) and cracked his bottom jaw on a bite on a burglary suspect. After his knee replacement, he continued to work for two years after. K9 Maik crossed over the rainbow bridge in January of 2008. Great job, K9 Maik. RIP.
