These two individuals failed to heed my previous warnings regarding the distribution of this poison in and around our county. Remember, the next knock on your door may not be a customer, it could very well be my Narcotics Unit and SWAT Team executing a search warrant or an arrest warrant for you. Remember, this Sheriff’s Office still makes house calls.

Additional charges may be forthcoming as the investigation continues and additional parties associated with this case are prosecuted.
