Law enforcement officers commenced operations Wednesday morning with 58 arrest warrants and several search warrants.

Several area law enforcement agencies combined for dozens of arrests in a drug sweep on Wednesday.

Members of the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, Franklin Police Department, Bargersville Police Department, Edinburgh Police Department, Greenwood Police Department, Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, Marion County Sheriff’s Office, White River Fire Department, and the Bargersville Fire Department (Fire Service SWAT Medics) executed a series of narcotics warrants across Johnson County and neighboring areas. This operation is part of a proactive investigation that has been ongoing for several months. The collaborative effort among these agencies underscores their commitment to keeping drugs and illegal activities out of our communities.

Sheriff Duane Burgess of the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, Chief Kirby Cochran of the Franklin Police Department, Chief James Ison of the Greenwood Police Department, and Prosecutor Lance Hamner have forged a strong partnership with the involved agencies to address drug-related issues and major crimes within Johnson County.

Law enforcement officers commenced operations Wednesday morning with 58 arrest warrants and several search warrants. During the course of serving these warrants, Johnson County Sheriff Duane Burgess said he had the opportunity to speak with several residents living near individuals involved in drug trafficking. Many expressed relief and optimism, hopeful that peace would soon be restored to their neighborhoods.

"It is disheartening to see good, hardworking citizens forced to endure criminal activities in their communities. It is our duty as law enforcement to restore peace and ensure the safety of these areas. The individuals arrested today have chosen a path of unlawful behavior. The Sheriff’s Office, local Police Chiefs, Town Marshals, and the Prosecutor of Johnson County have made it clear: criminals are not welcome here. If you engage in illegal activities, you will be arrested, you will be charged, and you will go to jail," stated Sheriff Burgess.
