k9 grendel retiring

A Fond du Lac police K9 officer who was shot and critically injured in the line of duty a few years ago is officially retired.   A special ceremony was held at the Fond du lac police department Tuesday afternoon marking K9 Grendel’s last day on the job after eight years of service to the city of Fond du Lac.  In March of 2011,  Grendel and officer Ryan Williams were shot and critically injured during an armed standoff and attempted arrest of a sexual assault suspect.   The city council will recognize Grendel at their meeting this week.
