Wood County Crime

E-mail Print PDF
Several drug investigations underway
Last week, the criminal investigations unit of the sheriff's department was busy with several drug-related investigations.
They seized several full-grown marijuana plants during a search in the Hawkins area.
The unit also seized several marijuana plants in the Alba/Yantis area. The criminal investigations units also located the remnants of a working meth lab in the eastern part of the county. Residue from the lab was tested. The results were positive for methamphetamine, confirming that the location was a clandestine lab.
With assistance from the U.S. Postal Service, a high quantity of marijuana was intercepted prior to delivery at a residence in Wood County. Due to the ongoing nature of these investigations, this is the only information currently available.
