TENNESSEE — A narcotics investigation by the Bledsoe County Sheriff’s Office led to the arrest of two people following a search at Pikeville Townhouses on October 9.

Sheriff Jimmy Morris said detectives executed a search warrant at a home on Rockfort Road that resulted in the arrests of Timothy Brett Hendon and Erica Newman.

During the search, officers found suspected fentanyl, Percocet, and hydrocodone, along with money, drug packaging, and paraphernalia used for distributing illegal drugs.

Hendon faces multiple charges, including maintaining a dwelling where drugs are used or sold, possession of fentanyl, Percocet, and hydrocodone for resale, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Newman is charged with maintaining a dwelling where drugs are used or sold.

Both suspects were booked into the Bledsoe County Jail.

“Our department remains committed to keeping dangerous narcotics like fentanyl off the streets of Bledsoe County,” Sheriff Morris said. “We will continue to aggressively pursue those who choose to distribute these deadly substances in our community.”
