Drug arrests in Sunman; one charged for dealing
Local authorities made three drug arrests in Sunman, with one being charged with dealing. The Ripley County Sheriff’s Office, conducting months of intel and surveillance, obtained enough information in reference to drug activity in Sunman to secure search warrants for two separate residences there. Officers located numerous items of drug paraphernalia, as well as multiple drugs, and other items used for the use and sale of illegal drugs.
Further information was obtained from the two search warrants, which led to the execution of a third search warrant in Sunman later that night by the Sheriff’s Office and State Police. Police discovered items consistent with the use and sale of illegal drugs inside of the home.
