🚔🍀 Feeling Lucky? We Were Too! 🍀🚔
–
On St. Patrick’s Day, the Knox County Sheriff’s Office NARC Division (Narcotics And Retail Crimes) was out in force to catch those who thought luck was on their side. After a traffic stop and two search warrants, detectives seized:
–
🔫 2 Handguns
⚠️ 969 grams of fentanyl (that’s 969,000 lethal doses!)
🌿 2,494 grams of marijuana (yes, it’s still illegal)
💵 $14,383 in drug money
–
One suspect tried to escape—first in his vehicle, then on foot—tossing baggies of narcotics into the air as he ran. Unlucky for him, we still caught him, and the drugs were recovered from his abandoned vehicle.
–
Our NARC Division has been working hard, and with warmer weather, things are only heating up.
