K9 Shadow
The family of Capt. White regretfully announces the passing of a friend and faithful partner. K-9 Shadow, who was retired in August of 2002, passed away May 28, 2005 after a long struggle with Leukemia. During his 6-year career with the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office, Shadow was credited with over 100 drug finds totaling a street value of over two million dollars and numerous criminal apprehensions.

One of his most memorable finds was during a traffic stop on Interstate-40 that resulted in the seizure of over two hundred thousand dollars worth of cocaine. Those that knew Shadow recall him being fearless yet loyal and feisty yet loving. Even with his loving heart, Shadow was quick to lay his life on the line in the protection of Capt. White if it was needed.

This attribute was very apparent when the team tracked an armed robbery suspect through a mile and a half of swamps - the track ended in a struggle. Shadow's actions that night not only possibly saved the life of his handler, but also the suspect, who appeared to be trying to attempt suicide. The passing of Shadow is a great loss to the community of Lonoke County and he will be forever missed.
