An ongoing drug investigation by special agents with the Drug Investigation Division of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, with the assistance of other law enforcement partner agencies, has resulted in the arrest of 24 people in Grundy County on various drug-related charges.
Beginning in early 2021, TBI agents conducted a series of undercover drug purchases in Grundy County, resulting in the acquisition of various types of narcotics including methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl, and prescription pills.
