Dedication, simply put. These Officers probably put in a very long day. Serving the warrant is the easy part. Hauling people to jail, photographing, collecting evidence, then logging the evidence in, the piles of paper work. Then you move on to the next warrant and the process starts over again. I would guess that there were no lunch breaks, more than likely they ate their lunch at one of the residence involved and more than likely in the front yard or sitting in their vehicles. This type of sweep is not easy. You can safley bet that they earned their pay for that day. Yes, alot of these people probably have been arrested before, and will more than likely get arrested again in the future, but they each must realize that the officers chasing them are far more dedicated to the task (law) than the addicted are to their drugs. They will not stop chasing and arresting and sweeping. If there is anyone who doubts the good work these officers did on this day, you should find one and ask what the process is really like.

I agree with your points. But what needs to be understood is that if you sent 100% of those caught to prison, the prison system would be 200% over populated. True some never learn and continue to make bad choices that effects the lives of alot of people. There is an old saying that if you get caught and get out you have let loose your spout. This happens and is a part of the reason other people are able to get caught. I have seen a few turn their lives around and we should be proud of their efforts. In a way, they turning their lives around is a bigger help to the system than anything offered thus far. Sequoyah County has a lot of good people living in it, Sequoyah County has alot of good people living in it with bad problems. Who do we decide to help? Who do we decide to throw away?

out of the 9 arrests one was a child and this is not the only child involved in this raid, my child is owed $5700.00 in back child support by Linwood Hughes and his current girlfriend who was also involved in the raid has 5 children and one on the way, who are the true victims in this situation the children, These people would rather spend their money on drugs making buying selling whatever then contributing to thier own children's welfare. When will Criminals actually do some realtime in Jail instead of narking out a few other's and to be able to get out of jail, We need a better system to keep drug makers behind bars and make them do some real time. This isnt lets make a deal with drew carey, The Criminals shouldn't be allowed to choose door number 1 or 2 or 3 they automatically should have to serve out there convictions, No matter how long it shall be.. thanks
