MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) -- - A central Indiana city has a new police dog thanks to the time
rocker Ozzy Osbourne's son spent with the department for a reality
TV show.
Muncie police Sgt. Jay Turner picked up the dog -- named Ozzy
-- last week after receiving $4,500 checks from both Ozzy and Jack
Osbourne.
Police Chief Deborah Davis says that because of city budget
cuts the department wouldn't have been able to replace an older dog
without the donation.
The younger Osbourne joined Erik Estrada, La Toya Jackson and
other celebrities as volunteer officers for the Muncie police to
film the reality show "Armed & Famous" in 2006.
Turner tells The Star Press that the Osbournes "came through
for the department" with the donation.
