Recent Wilkes Sheriffâs Office investigations resulted in the
seizure of a large quantity of methamphetamine.
The Wilkes Sheriffâs Officeâs latest round of felony drug arrests reflects the increased prevalence of imported methamphetamine in Wilkes County, said Capt. Craig Dancy, who heads the agencyâs narcotics unit.
âEverything has gone to meth now,â said Dancy when he announced these latest cases Friday. Charges against all but four of 35 defendants in the latest round include meth offenses.
âAnd theyâre not making it here anymore because it canât competeâ with meth produced by drug cartels in Mexico, said Dancy. âWe havenât found a meth lab (in Wilkes) in two years.â
