Drug Search Warrant
Executed in Urich on Thursday Afternoon
Shortly before 4:00
p.m. on Thursday afternoon, deputies from the Henry County Sheriff’s
Office executed a search warrant at an address in the 100 block of
West E.O. Graham, Urich, regarding an on-going investigation into
suspected drug activity.
The search warrant application was
filed by Prosecuting Attorney Richard Shields, which led to a warrant
being issued by Circuit Judge James Journey. The search warrant
authorized deputies to search the address for illegal drugs, as well
as any items of paraphernalia connected to the use, sale or
manufacture of such. During the execution of the search warrant, a
small amount of an illegal substance, as well as paraphernalia items
listed on the search warrant were discovered at the address.
“Early
this year, an investigation began county-wide into suspected drug
activity, which has lead to numerous investigative arrests for the
possession of illegal substances. As this investigation continues to
broaden, more arrests are expected in the coming weeks”, Sheriff
Kent Oberkrom stated.
“Cpl. Aaron Brown and Deputy Chase
Jackson were both instrumental in this branch of our investigation
and were able to put together sufficient evidence to apply for this
search warrant. I foresee this having a very positive effect on the
community”, Sheriff Oberkrom concluded.
Deputies which
participated in the execution of the search warrants were Major Rob
Hills, Sgt. Mike Nelson, Cpl. Aaron Brown, Deputies Chase Jackson and
Silverio Rosas.
