Summary

SGT Randy Thumann, Fayette County TX Sheriff’s Office, and his K94COPs partner Kolt, have worked together to seize hundreds of millions of dollars in drugs and illegal currency. One stop in particular on March 5, 2021, resulted in the seizure of 15 pounds of Fentanyl, worth over $100 million—an amount that could have killed over 4 million people. This is a story about what it takes to be on the front line of stopping drug trafficking, and the special bond between a dog and their handler that make this crime-fighting combination unbeatable.
