Overington Helps to Get "Jerro" Back on Duty

"Jerro" the local state police K-9 dog is back on duty and more than earning his keep in assisting in tracking down suspects. Del. Overington worked with local activists Dorothy Snow and Kim Sencindiver who had raised money to provide for Jerro. Overington took their case to Charleston to call attention to the need to get Jerro back on duty.

Earlier this year at one of Overington's town meetings, Dorothy Snow presented Overington with a petition signed by thousands of local supporters. Overington personally presented copies to the Governor and State Police Superin-tendent Gary Edgell. "The end result is that we are all pleased that Jerro is back on duty helping our law enforce-ment effort. There are a lot of people who believe in this dog and it showed," Overington said.
