Our state’s massive substance abuse problem may have been flying under the radar for the past several months, but law enforcement officials have been quietly continuing the fight. Quietly, that is, until Wednesday, when agencies in Jackson County conducted Operation Centennial, the largest drug investigation warrant sweep in the state’s history.
The effort was led by the Jackson County Bureau of Investigations, but the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, Ravenswood Police Department, United States Marshal, Drug Enforcement Administration, West Virginia State Police and West Virginia Department of Natural Resources were involved as well.. By midday, the sweep had resulted in 113 warrants for cases involving methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, fentanyl, prescription narcotics, and marijuana.
