Several Cherokee County Drug Raids

JACKSONVILLE — Some Jacksonville residents may sleep a little better knowing that police have arrested nine individuals selling drugs in the city over the past two months and they say it’s only the beginning. Authorities say the recent busts are primarily due to the community alerting them to areas where drug deals might potentially occur. They say many of the raids they’ve done have been at individuals’ homes, and that they even raided a business. They say all told they’ve confiscated around fifteen thousand dollars in cash, crack cocaine, marijuana, a few cars, and even some weapons.
