• K-9 Kilo Follows Officer to Georgia (corneliustoday.com) — Cornelius residents should know that the Town Board has approved selling police dog K-9 Kilo to the Covington, Georgia, Police Department so he can continue working with his longtime handler, Officer Matthew Bonestell. With no other trained K-9 handler available in Cornelius, officials say the $12,000 sale preserves their bond while redirecting Kilo's service to his officer's new community.
