SBI Takes Over Chilli’s Death Probe | Wilmington News
Description
The State Bureau of Investigation has stepped in to probe the death of K-9 Chilli, after the Pitt County DA requested removal from the case—raising eyebrows over transparency. Chilli died in a cruiser following training, with the sheriff calling it an accident and refusing to name the handler for privacy reasons. Internal reviews cleared no charges, but records show Detective Grant Foster, part of the gang unit, was suspended twice on the very day of the incident—with no explanation offered. The handler, who joined in 2019 and took over Chilli’s duties in 2023, remains unnamed. Now, SBI is leading the investigation to ensure accountability.
