The Bennington Police Department is doing away with its canine unit after its handler was accused of drinking and driving.
Officer Erick Ericksen pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of careless and negligent operation of a motor vehicle.
The Bennington Police Department will not say if Ericksen was disciplined. But they eliminated his position.
The department is now looking for another police force to take its canine, because no other officer with the Bennington Police Department is trained to use a canine.
