K-9 Franco injured in line of duty

From staff reports
CELINA - A Mercer County Sheriff's Office K-9 received a paw injury in the line of duty and will be temporarily out of service.
Franko, a German shepherd, and his handler, Deputy Kevin Wynk, were assisting in tracking an individual involved in a vehicle pursuit with the Celina Police Department on Saturday. The pursuit reportedly ended near the corner of U.S. 33 and Celina-Mendon Road.
As deputies were tracking the suspect through a cornfield, Franko injured his right front paw and was unable to continue the search, according to a news release.
He was treated for his injury and will remain temporarily out of service.
