Multi-agency drug sweep nets arrests and seizures

Officers from nine law enforcement agencies made multiple arrests and executed seven search warrants in a series of cooperative multi-agency drug raids in Rock Springs and Green River Wednesday morning. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says the raids were the result of an intensive one-year Division of Criminal Investigation drug trafficking probe.






Blust says court appearances are pending for those mentioned as well as three others.






The agencies involved in the raids were the Division of Criminal Investigation, the Southwest Enforcement Team, the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office, the Rock Springs and Green River Police Departments, the Wyoming Highway Patrol, the Sublette County Sheriff's Office, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the United States Marshals Service, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The Southwest Enforcement Team is a drug task force made up of investigators from the Division of Criminal Investigation, the Sweetwater, Uinta, and Sublette County Sheriff's Offices, and the Evanston and Green River Police Departments. The investigation is continuing.
