The Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Chanute Police Department, and Allen County Sheriff’s Office made several arrests Thursday following a two month long investigation into the distribution of illegal drugs.  Arrest warrants were issued for individuals related to the distribution of methamphetamine. Later,  arrest warrants were executed as a part of “Operation Street Sweeper” around the county. The subjects were later booked into the Neosho County and Allen County Jails for drug-related crimes including the suspected distribution of methamphetamine, and the possession of controlled substances.

 

Criminal complaints have been filed against the 16 suspects in Neosho County District Court, and will be prosecuted by Linus A. Thuston, Neosho County Attorney.
