GRIFFIN, Ga -- Last November, Cpl. Chad Moxon’s police dog, Jimi, was taken from his home and brutally beaten to death and dumped along the side of a rural Georgia road.
With the help of donations, the Griffin Police Department was able to purchase another K-9 for $12,500 to replace the murdered dog.
“He is an explosive detecting animal, a man tracker and criminal apprehension dog. Freddy is also the only criminal apprehension bite dog in the Griffin Police Department,” Cpl. Chad Moxon said.
Moxon's new partner is Freddy, a 2.5-year-old German shepherd. “I don’t think he and I have really bonded they way Jimi and I did yet. He is a little more stubborn you can see right now he doesn’t want to listen and he is a lot more of a cry baby than Jimi was ," Moxon said. "But, we are definitely starting to bond. We are together everyday, work and home."
Police are still looking for the person or persons responsible for killing Jimi. “Some days, I think about Jimi a lot more. It makes it hard because we don’t know what happened yet, that makes it that much harder, if we could arrest someone and put them in jail, I would feel a lot better. I want the person who killed Jimi behind bars,” Moxon said.
During our interview, the playful shepherd ran off with CBS reporter Mike Paluska’s camera bag and Freddy tried eating the cover to the microphone. "He is the best dog money can buy," Moxon said. “We didn’t expect to receive so many donations from the community and because we got so much money we were able to buy a more highly trained dog to replace Jimi."
Rock Springs Church in Milner collected more than $4,000 in donations to go towards buying a new dog. Moxon showed the church this Sunday what they helped pay for. At the end of the service, Pastor Benny Tate brought Moxon on stage with Freddy and to a roar of applause Moxon thanked the community for their support.
Freddy already proved how useful a crime fighting tool he is to the community. A few weeks after he was bought , Moxon said he was in an attic attempting to arrest a sexual predator. The arrest turned into a fight with the suspect going for Moxon’s gun that came loose during the struggle. “I pushed the gun away so the guy couldn’t get it, but I was tired and didn’t know how much longer I could keep fighting. Officers downstairs were able to get Freddy over to me and he bit the suspect on the arm and we were able to take the suspect into custody. It would have been a very bad situation if we had not had him,” Moxon said.
