Officer Shane Butler, a K-9 officer at the Cedar Bluff Police Department, was implicated in a lawsuit alleging involvement in planting drugs on drivers. On January 25, 2023, Butler reportedly arrived at a traffic stop initiated by Officer Michael Kilgore, where drugs were allegedly planted in the vehicle of William Sidney Blevins. Butler’s actions during the incident, including the use of his police dog, were called into question. The lawsuit claims that Butler’s conduct contributed to the wrongful arrest and malicious prosecution of Blevins.
