The Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department has made a significant announcement regarding a lengthy investigation that culminated in a major operation within the county. Law enforcement officials successfully confiscated over 21 pounds of methamphetamine, a substantial amount of fentanyl, and several firearms. This operation marks the largest methamphetamine seizure recorded in the history of Lawrence County.
The investigation was a collaborative effort involving multiple agencies, including the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), the Giles County Sheriff’s Office, and the Pulaski Police Department. Authorities have indicated that further details will be made available once they receive clearance from the FBI.
Sheriff John Myers expressed his thoughts on the operation, stating, “This was a crime syndicate, plain and simple. It spanned across our state from Memphis to Nashville and down to our county. Dismantling this organization was one of the most fulfilling things we’ve ever done, and it has drastically diminished the meth supply in our county. I couldn’t be more proud of everyone involved.” The successful conclusion of this investigation is expected to have a lasting impact on the community and its fight against drug-related crime.
