Multiple individuals were arrested by a joint task force early Thursday morning as part of an illegal drug offender roundup and warrant sweep. These arrests were made as a result of a three-month joint operation conducted by the Springfield Police Department and the Robertson County Sheriff’s Office. The roundup was conducted with the assistance of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Marshals Service, and ATF.
The operation began in the early morning hours Thursday and lasted for approximately 5 hours as teams of law enforcement officers spread out across the City of Springfield and Robertson County to apprehend subjects at various locations. A total of 10 people were arrested with a total of 24 warrants served.
“This is just the latest example of work being accomplished to help curb the violence associated with the illegal drug activity in our communities,” said Sheriff Bill Holt. “Your law enforcement agencies are united in our dedication to preserve the quality of life and make our cities and county a safe place to raise our children.”
