MISSISSIPPI — The Marshall County Sheriff’s Department carried out a major raid this week, serving eleven federal arrest warrants across Marshall and neighboring counties.

Sheriff Dickerson said the operation was the result of a nearly two-year investigation into a highly organized drug trafficking ring.

Authorities allege the group was responsible for moving large amounts of meth, cocaine, and other illegal substances through communities in Marshall, DeSoto, Lafayette and Benton counties.

Those arrested now face federal charges of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances.

Sheriff Dickerson said the investigation remains active and that more arrests are expected in the coming days.
