DRUG BUSTS
On June 19, 1987 the Roosevelt County Sheriff's Department in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Burecu of Indian Affairs ended a three month long investigation by executing five search warrants in Poplar. A total of twenty three law enforcement officers from Roosevelt and Valley Counties, the FBI and BIA sesrched five homes in Poplar resulting in two arrests. The arrests of Shannon O'Brien for misdemeanor possession of dangerous drugs, and George Walking Eagle for possession of dangerous drugs. In the next few weeks the Sheriff's Department will be filing numerous charges for sale of dangercus drugs as a result of this county wide investigation, we have started the ball rolling now, and with a lot of hard and relentless work, we will continue to pursue the drug problem, but the Department needs the support of each and every one of you that share the concerns that drugs are damaging our youth.
