15 drug suspects arrested in early-morning raids in Simpson County
Federal, state and local law enforcement officers arrested 15 drug suspects in early-morning raids Tuesday, February 7 in Simpson County, said Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Director John Dowdy.
Officers executed warrants in D’Lo, Magee and Mendenhall after a year-long investigation into cocaine and methamphetamine sales as well as diversion of prescription drugs. The investigation was code-named Operation D’Lo Meltdown, Director Dowdy said.
The MBN-led roundups were made with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service, Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, Mississippi Department of Corrections, Simpson County Sheriff Department, Magee and Mendenhall police departments, as well as American Medical Response.
The suspects were transported to the Simpson County Jail, booked and held pending initial court appearances.
