Chief Eugene Roberts, Assistant District Attorney Samantha Williams, Lt. Dusty Hailey, Lt. Junior Fields, Lt. Randy Glover, and Sgt. Jimmy Lankford enjoyed spending time with the county's 6th,7th, and 8th grade students and teachers at today's career day. The students truly enjoyed the "drunk goggles" which simulate the differing levels of intoxication. This was more than 500 students we interacted with today... shew we are tired. Lots of great questions and participation.

It is with very heavy hearts that we report the passing of K-9 UDO after a brief extreme illness. K-9 UDO was often seen at our schools, visiting our students throughout the county and he was instrumental in hundreds of cases in Smith County. He has been utilized by surrounding law enforcement agencies at different times in his career. He will be missed by our entire office, but especially his handler, Lt. Junior Fields and family. Please keep them in your prayers.
