In a Facebook post, Marietta cops said "suspicious activity during the stop led to a request for a K-9 sniff."

Apex, a three-year-old dog on the force, rooted out the drugs that were inside a hidden compartment in the center console under the radio, the warrant said.

Apex found individually wrapped packages of methamphetamine totaling 14½ grams, four grams of packaged crack cocaine, 7½ grams of marijuana and about four grams of heroin cut into 11 bundles.
