“Narcotic Round Up” operation leads to 19 arrests in Russell County, Virginia

Nineteen individuals were arrested last week as part of a “Narcotics Round Up” operation in Russell County, VA. The Holston River Regional Drug Task Force and the Russell County Sheriff’s Office made the arrests, which ranged from drug offenses to firearm violations.

Officials with the operation say having a regional drug task force helps the community by not only bringing in street dealers, but being able to investigate and apprehend supply chains that bring the drugs into the region.
