Sheriff Tyler Hooks says the sheriff’s office doesn’t take this type of incident lightly.
“It’s a harsh reminder that illegal drugs are not just a ‘big city’ problem. They’re here, in our small town, threatening our families and our children,” Hooks said.
Hooks said he wants those who continue to bring “poison” into Morgan County to know: “We’re watching, we’re listening, and we’re working to hold you accountable.”
