Round-up of eight month investigation
Posted on July 07, 2006

Authorities in Lawrence County have begun a round-up of suspects in an eight month long undercover drug investigation. Sheriff William Dorning says agents with the Sheriff?s Department Crime Suppression Unit began making arrests Thursday night in the operation, which dates back to October of last year. Officers went to Hudson Road in Ethridge, Dukes Park Road, Highway 43 North, Lawrenceburg Oak Street and other locations to serve state warrants and grand jury indictments. Nearly a dozen people were arrested in the initial phase Thursday night and Dorning says more arrests will happen in the coming days and weeks. Charges of those arrested Thursday include sale of marijuana and controlled substances, possession of marijuana, meth, pills, and paraphernalia. Dorning says 60 to 70 drug cases have been made during the operation.
