Gismo wasn't with the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office very long before he made his first arrest. The 18-month-old Belgian Malinois (mal-in-wah) took down a man fleeing from deputies on Henry Mikell Road recently - a man who was suspected in a burglary as well as a car theft from Wrens. Sgt. Kenneth Thompson spotted Joseph Wayne Standridge of Lakeside Drive in Appling County acting suspiciously near Mill Creek Park on Feb. 2.
