"Illegal drugs are
destroying lives and families in our community. These sentences send
a strong message that individuals who deliver those illegal drugs
will suffer serious consequences for their criminal conduct," said
Jonathan Wright.
"Heroin and cocaine
are on the rise in this community. My hope is that the sentences
imposed on these individuals will deter others from delivering
illegal drugs. We will continue to investigate and arrest
individuals trafficking drugs in Logan County," said Steve Nichols,
Logan County Sheriff.
Each of the
individuals arrested in June of this year who still have pending
cases are presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt.
