OCTOBER INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION HIGHLIGHTS

Our Investigators have been busy this past month. October’s highlights included 2 search warrants with narcotics being seized. Those types of narcotics included methamphetamine, ecstasy, cannabis wax, cocaine, and fentanyl.
 
We appreciate the community’s participation and the tips you submit. Seven of these narcotics tips were investigated and yielded four arrests. One of the tips led to our investigations team obtaining and executing a search warrant. The other tips led investigators to get three individuals medical assistance. These three individuals were using a fentanyl analog that, after prolonged use, causes skin to deteriorate to the point where necrosis sets in. By following up on these tips, Investigators were able to get those involved to medical assistance.
 
The month also included a vehicle pursuit that went into Jefferson County, and continued into Blount County. With assistance from other agencies, the pursuit was ended without further incident, and the driver was taken into custody on several felony warrants with surrounding agencies.
 
To end on, three stolen vehicles were recovered, and there is so much more we could say, but we want to say thank you to our community. Each tip that comes in is fully investigated. Whether it leads to nothing, or even to an arrest, your tips make a difference! Our team can’t be everywhere at once, but we can be where the community needs us. Submit your tips via the WCSO app, where they can remain completely anonymous.
