The Town of Unicoi is aware of a story circulating regarding former K9 Officer Nero. Nero arrived with Former Police Chief Nick Hughes when Mr. Hughes took over as the Town of Unicoi Police Chief but was never officially certified as the K9 for the Town. Upon the cessation of his employment, Mr. Hughes retained personal ownership of Nero. The Town of Unicoi strongly opposes any mistreatment of animals and hopes to see Nero healthy and thriving with a loving owner soon!
