Officers with the Corpus Christi police department have announced the passing of a retired K-9 officer.

In a picture and post shared on their Facebook page, it states, "It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of retired K-9 Officer, Indy. K-9 Officer Indy, who was one of the original K-9 Officers, retired in January 2019 after serving the Corpus Christi Police Department for nearly 7 years."

Indy was responsible in helping capture several suspects and was trained to sniff out heroin, cocaine, and several other drugs.
