BENTON COUNTY DRUG DOG DISPUTE

Benton County authorities are holding an on-line contest to name their new drug dog and one deputy may have ruined it all. The deputy went to an on-line chat room and mentioned his favorite name. Votes for that name shot up shortly after. Some county residents think he may have influenced the vote but the deputy insists it was an innocent mistake. Voting ends on January 31st. Students in the DARE program suggested the names; Ben, Chase, Cody, Copper, Max and Sarge. The one who suggested the winner will get his picture taken with the dog. You may still be able to get in your vote. Check it out at www.co.benton.mn.us.
