The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) announced on January 31 that it arrested nearly two dozen people following a 10-month methamphetamine investigation in Okmulgee, Oklahoma.

Meth Charges Include Distribution and Trafficking
According to OBN director Darrell Weaver, removing the criminal drug elements from Oklahoma communities is an important role of the state drug agency. “Today, we inflicted a critical blow to the methamphetamine trade in the Okmulgee area with the arrest of these individuals,” said Weaver. “This group of outlaws distributed alarming amounts of this highly addictive drug and made enormous profits while peddling their illicit wares. The cooperation between local law enforcement and OBN was superb and I am very pleased. We must continue to be vigilant in our stance against this devilish drug.” The individuals who were arrested in the methamphetamine bust were transported to the Okmulgee County Jail. They face a variety of charges, including aggravated trafficking and distribution of a controlled dangerous substance.
