Nine people swept up in anti-drug initiative

The narcotics unit of the Oconee Sheriff’s Office has carried out a new round-up of suspects wanted as part of “Operation Infinity.” In this one, nine people arrested were jailed and were awaiting appearances before a judge. Two of those arrested were in custody as the result of a search warrant executed at Cody Road in an incident that the Sheriff’s Office says was unrelated to Operation Infinity. In all but one of the arrests, the offense of methamphetamine distribution is alleged. Sheriff Crenshaw made this statement: “We will continue arresting those that choose to sell illegal drugs in our communities. We also are promoting drug prevention to our youth as well as encouraging those with an addiction to seek free help that is available. We are looking for an additional twelve suspects that will be arrested for the sale of illegal drugs.”
