The operation that led to the arrest of the nine suspects was executed in the 800 block of County Road 1319, also known as Basch Road, on Thursday, Feb. 4. CNET and CCSO deputies made entry into the residence and arrested those suspects who had warrants. While inside, CNET and CCSO deputies located multiple suspects, as well as meth and other drugs and drug paraphernalia.
CCSO seized approximately 10 grams of meth, syringes, glass meth pipes, straws and marijuana.
“I believe any time you can arrest a large number of drug pushers and several of them are not from our community it sends the message we don’t want your drugs in Cullman County, and if you come here you will go to jail,” said Sheriff Matt Gentry. “I would also like to thank CNET and our deputies for the great job they did on this arrest,” added Gentry.
