Rex, Perry's drug dog, was on the job Monday night, and two Perry men are now in jail because of his well-trained nose. Douglas Ryan Peake 1515 Windsor Road, and Daniel Moody, 32, who has been living in the Swan Motel, have both been charged with posession of methamphetamines with intent to distribute. According to Capt. Heath Dykes of Perry's Detective Division, Sgt. Ron Brainard, the department's canine handler, was on patrol and pulled Peake and Moody, who were in a Ford Taurus, over for a routine traffic violation at 6:15p.m. near the intersection of Courtney Hodges Blvd. and Main Street. Rex, who is a German shepherd, "alerted" on approaching the car, making it known that there were drugs in the car. This led to a search and methamphetamine packaged to sell was reportedly found in the car. Dykes, and others were called to scene by Brainard. They obtained a warrant to search Room 111 at the Swan Motel, where Moody was staying, and found drug paraphernalia and crystal meth, according to reports. Dykes said the meth products had a street value of around $500. The two suspects are in the Houston County jail.
