Fourteen people have been arrested in Bartholomew County on suspicion of dealing drugs, the result of months-long investigations by the Bartholomew County Joint Narcotics Enforcement Team — and more arrests are expected.
Undercover narcotics detectives from the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department and the Columbus Police Department made multiple purchases of heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine in Bartholomew County, JNET officials announced late Thursday.
During their investigations, detectives purchased drugs and conducted surveillance on individuals with assistance from the Drug Enforcement Administration based in Indianapolis.
