The METRICH / MARMET Drug Task Force completed a three week investigation Friday into the sale of heroin in Marion. During a round up on May 30 and May 31, 2013, detectives arrested six individuals, including a woman arrested for the same offense in April.
MARMET said Nicole Freeman, arrested on Thursday, had been out on bond after she had been arrested on April 11, 2013 for trafficking in heroin.
“It is very upsetting to deal with the same individual in a short period of time,” Lt. Chris Adkins stated. “Lots of law enforcement resources are used to lock the same person up over and over.”
Members of the MARMET Drug Task Force, Marion Police Department, and Marion County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant at 510 Oak Street based on information gained during one of the arrests. Investigators say they located 75 bindles of heroin inside the house worth $1,875 and seized $1,700 in cash.
