Sheriff: Undercover drug operations lead to felony arrests, help reduce crime rate

FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office continues to work to prevent the sale of illegal drugs and facilitate the prosecution of drug offenders.

Sheriff Darren Campbell on Thursday announced the arrests of numerous suspects on drug charges as the result of undercover drug operations between April and June. These individuals sold directly to or facilitated the sale of illegal drugs to undercover narcotics investigators, Campbell said.

“As you can see many of these suspects have considerable criminal histories. For several years now, it has been the stance of the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office to aggressively target and arrest repeat criminals who choose to continue to commit crimes or by their actions contribute to criminal activity here in Iredell County,” the sheriff said.

“When we arrest these suspects, we are able to make the public aware of who they are, and we can add to the distrust among drug sellers and buyers, and generally make it more difficult to sell illegal drugs here in Iredell County. We know drug sales, and the activities associated with it, contribute to other types of violent and property crimes. By focusing on those who sell the drugs, we are able to continue driving down crime rates in Iredell County”.
