Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Arrests 13 on Drug Charges

Kudos to the Brunswick County Sheriff's Department for keeping Brunswick County a nice place to live.

According to a December 8, 2009 article in The Sun News... "Thirteen people have been arrested on drug charges after an operation in Southport, N.C., last week, according to the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office.

The special operation spanned over four days and netted 13 arrests for 22 felony and misdemeanor drug charges, authorities said.

The operation was conducted in response to several complaints from residents of ongoing drug activity throughout the community. Several vehicle stops were made in conjunction with surveillance, and officers seized amounts of marijuana, illegal prescription pills, ecstasy, powder cocaine and crack cocaine, authorities said."

One would not think such a drug operation would exist in sleepy Brunswick County. Unfortunately, it does and it would be a lot worse if not for the efforts of the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office and local law enforcement agencies.

Next time you see an officer thank them for making Brunswick County a nice place to live!!!
