Police Department, in an effort to curve the drug related activities in
eastern Hendry County and within the city limits of Clewiston, netted
seventeen arrests on drug related charges.
Narcotics Investigators and officers with the Clewiston Police Department,
coordinated a motel "buy-bust" operation by using an informant that
organized drug buys at a local motel, in which drug dealers would respond
to a designated room to sell a predetermined amount of drugs to the
Sheriffs Office informant. Once identification of the seller was made, an
arrest warrant was requested.
On October 28, 2004, representatives from both Hendry County Sheriffs
Office and Clewiston Police Department came together, and as each
individual was contacted and returned to the same location, law enforcement
authorities placed them under arrest charging them on drug related crimes.
As a result additional unrelated arrests were made for Prostitution and
drug user sales that were made by undercover officers.
Sheriff Worley stated, "The success of this operation is just one example
of the inter-agency working relationship and support, that continue to make
efforts such as this successful. We are making every effort to curve the
drug problems in Hendry County".
