The investigation is ongoing. Sheriff Farris stated that he and the good citizens of Putnam County will not
tolerate drug dealers and their illegal activities in our community. That we will continue to work together to drive those people out of our town so that Putnam County continues to be a great place to live, work, and to raise our children.
