According to the Michigan State Police, The Southwest Enforcement Team (SWET) detectives, DEA, and MSP troopers served a search warrant after a lengthy investigation into a high-level drug trafficker in Battle Creek.
Over one pound of cocaine, a quantity of heroin/fentanyl, manufacturing equipment, packaging, and other contraband were seized.
A 37-year-old Battle Creek man was arrested and charged with possession with intent to distribute over 500 grams of cocaine, possession of heroin/fentanyl, maintaining a drug house, and a bond violation.
MSP says the investigation is ongoing.
I keep hearing of all of these huge drug busts locally, nationally and worldwide, but are we making a dent on the street supply of is it all being replaced with other supplies?
Can we get an article on that?
That’s a very good question, Dan. The national recidivism rate for those arrested for drug related crimes is between 70-80%. It would be interesting to discuss possible solutions that do not require Draconian measures.
I’m wondering who it was… I don’t see why names or addresses of these types of criminals cannot be shared… I mean all these individuals’ rights have all been stripped and violated as it is already SO WHATS ONE MORE RIGHT BEING TAKEN AWAY
