SOUTHWICK - A 28-year-old Southwick man, a former Enfield Police Department K-9 handler, has been charged with using his police dog to threaten his ex-girlfriend.
Gregory J. Skop, 189 Berkshire Ave., and his German shepherd, Niko, had just graduated from a training course when police here and in Enfield charged him with threatening the woman.
Skop pleaded innocent in February in Westfield District Court to charges of assault and battery, threatening to commit a crime and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon - a police dog, court documents state.
