ARRESTS MADE AFTER OPERATION RELENTLESS
Special to The Sun
On Dec. 15, detectives with the Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division, alongside detectives of the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, agents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, members of the North Star Multijurisdictional Drug Task Force, and K9 Officers from the Florida Department of Corrections executed several arrest warrants as part of “Operation Relentless.” They also executed a residential search warrant at 11 Franklin Drive in Crawfordville. This operation was designed to target large-scale drug dealers in the Big Bend region of Florida, who supply drugs to street-level dealers in Wakulla as well as other parts of our region. Throughout the later part of 2022, investigators with the Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division conducted numerous drug operations including controlled buys which led to 26 arrest warrants being obtained for 22 individuals. Investigators were able to arrest nine of those individuals on Dec. 15. The enforcement actions were the result of months of covert undercover work conducted by WCSO narcotics detectives and the North Star Multijurisdictional Drug Task Force. Investigators and deputies are continuing their efforts to locate and arrest the remaining 13 wanted individuals, and updated arrest information will be released as available. As of Dec. 21, 2022, the following persons have been arrested in Operation Relentless:
