Latest drug arrests reflect prevalence of meth

The Wilkes Sheriff’s Office’s latest round of felony drug arrests reflects the increased prevalence of imported methamphetamine in Wilkes County, said Capt. Craig Dancy, who heads the agency’s narcotics unit. “Everything has gone to meth now,” said Dancy when he announced these latest cases on Dec. 18. Charges against all but four of 35 defendants in the latest round include meth offenses. “And they’re not making it here anymore because it can’t compete” with meth produced by drug cartels in Mexico, said Dancy. “We haven’t found a meth lab (in Wilkes) in two years.” He said laws requiring retailers to keep records of people who buy household ingredients used in simple “one-pot” meth labs, once prevalent across Appalachia, are also a factor.

Body found off Parks Ridge Road

The Wilkes Sheriff’s Office is investigating following a body being found Monday afternoon in woods off dead end Parks Ridge Road, which is off Fishing Creek Road in the Antioch community east of North Wilkesboro. Little information has been released, except that it was the body of a woman. Wilkes Sheriff’s Office deputies had Parks Ridge Road blocked near the end of the road late Monday afternoon. The vehicles of deputies and civilians were parked along the road at that point. According to social media, a woman in her 30s from that area of Wilkes became missing within the last week.
