Three people arrested following drug bust in Tennessee

TENNESSEE — A multi-agency investigation led to the seizure of illegal drugs, firearms, and cash during two raids in West Tennessee.

Agents with the West Tennessee Judicial Violent Crime and Drug Task Force, in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), executed search warrants Wednesday at an apartment on Ila Court and a home on Barton Street.

The investigation began with multiple undercover purchases of fentanyl and cocaine from the locations.

Authorities confiscated approximately three ounces of fentanyl, 1,200 counterfeit cocaine and methamphetamine pills resembling Xanax bars, two ounces of cocaine, 1.5 ounces of methamphetamine, two pounds of marijuana, and six firearms.

A kilo press with dyes, empty drug kilo wrappers, over $6,600 in cash, and an Audi A6 were also seized.

Three suspects—Parker, Hill, and Holloway—were arrested. Their bonds have not yet been set.

The operation was part of the Governor’s Violent Crime Initiative Fund, which targets high-crime areas in Memphis.
