Here's Why Police and K9 Were Sniffing Around Near the Airport Tuesday

According to the Stow Police chief, some county officials were just training.

If you noticed several police cruisers and some K9 dogs sniffing around the Kent State University Airport Tuesday evening around 5:30 p.m. — no need to be alarmed, they were just training.  Stow Patch reader emailed Local Editor Amanda Harnocz inquiring about "six or seven police vehicles parked at the church next to the airport field (the one across from the airport) and several dogs being worked, as if they were searching for something. I thought they might be doing some field training." She was correct.  Stow Police Chief Louis Dirker said "I was informed that the Portage County Sheriff along with several other agencies were training in an empty building in the area."
