TUPELO – A secret drug sweep of south Lee County on Monday afternoon led to a number of felony arrests.
According to Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson, deputies and agents with the North Mississippi Narcotics Unit presented evidence during the March term of a Lee County grand jury. That led to search warrants and 38 secret indictments. Agents set the sweep in motion Monday afternoon around 4 p.m., and 18 people were arrested.
“These arrests were based on a lengthy investigation by NMNU and the Sheriff’s Department doing undercover operations and listening to the public about drug activity in south Lee County,” said Johnson. “The charges range from possession and sale of narcotics, mainly crack cocaine, to child endangerment.”
