Multiple individuals were located and detained when the SWAT Team and investigators arrived to execute the warrant.

Sheriff Wayne Davis said the sheriff’s office will continue working with law enforcement partners to address illegal drug distribution.
“Those who choose to distribute illegal drugs in our communities should understand that we will continue working with our law enforcement partners to identify them and hold them accountable. Protecting the safety and well-being of our citizens and our communities remains one of our highest priorities,” Davis said.
