State, local, and federal authorities are announcing a major drug arrest in Grand Traverse County. It’s a case they’ve been working for several months – coming together with the arrest of a 19 year old earlier this week. That downstate teenager is now facing multiple felony charges.
Capt. Randy Fewless with the Grand Traverse Sheriff’s Office says the message is clear: “If you want to come to Grand Traverse County and deal narcotics, you will be held accountable.”
Sheriff Tom Bensley says the drug problem is real. “It’s there. It’s underground. It’s in the shadows. Don’t think it’s not. It only sees the light of day when we’re able to make arrests.”
