The target of the investigation is a convicted felon.
“Our community has been seeing an increase in drug overdoses. Our narcotics officers are working diligently to identify the people who pollute our community and put our children ar risk.” Says Sheriff Anderson. “This is just the beginning. We will not only go after the dealers but also those that traffic it up and down the highways and those that provide the housing for these career criminals.”
The Sheriff’s Office was assisted by members of the Butler Police Department and will continue to work with other agencies.
Additional information will be released upon those subjects being formally charged by the Bates County Prosecutor.
