33 people face drug charges as a result of ‘Operation End of Summer’

Hampton

Earlier this month, the Yadkin County Sheriff’s Office commenced “Operation End of Summer” during which arrests have been made of more than 20 people as well as additional warrants issued. This operation included the charging of 33 individuals total, pertaining to controlled substance violations in Yadkin County.

During the arrests and ongoing undercover investigations, the Yadkin Sheriff’s Office has seized money, firearms as well as drugs including methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl, cathinone, oxycodone, oxymorphone, buprenorphine and marijuana.

“The Yadkin County Sheriff’s Office remains committee to reducing the illegal sale and distribution of drugs in Yadkin County and the surrounding area,” said Sheriff Ricky Oliver.

“When we slow down drug activities we also slow down many other crimes that are the result of the use and sale of illegal drugs,” Oliver added.

Oliver noted that the bulk of drugs being sold in the county are methamphetamine, heroin and fentanyl.

“Unfortunately this is resulting in some of the overdoses that we’re seeing here in the county and deaths that are a result of an overdose,” he said.

“If there are ways that we can help to get these folks that are just simply addicted and users, we’ll do all we can to help them find the resources to get off the stuff, but as far as the illegal sale we don’t have any tolerance. That’s contributing to the problem,” Oliver said.
