After the Madison Police Department's North District Community Police Team began to investigate, an MPD police dog, Josh, was brought to Splittgerber's complex Tuesday.

""Josh sniffed under doors of the building in question and alerted on the targeted apartment,"" MPD spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in a statement.

According to DeSpain, the dog's nose, citizen complaints and the CPT's investigation were the main reasons why a search warrant was executed on the building Wednesday.

""Individually packaged rocks of crack cocaine, individually packaged baggies of marijuana and an electronic digital scale were among items seized from the apartment,"" DeSpain said in a statement.
