MARMET Drug Task Force officials say a several week long investigation resulted in the Friday arrest of a man for suspected drug trafficking. MARMET said the man had been arrested for the same offense last year.
Shortly before 11:00 a.m. on Friday, May 30, 2014, detectives from MARMET, with the assistance of Marion County Adult Probation Department, arrested 26-year-old Angelo Boykins. Boykins was arrested on a warrant for Trafficking in Heroin and was taken to the Multi-County Correctional Center to await formal charges.
Lt. Chris Adkins of MARMET said that at the time of his arrest Friday, Boykins was on probation from a 2013 case in which he had plead guilty.
“Repeat drug trafficking offenders continue to be a problem in Marion County,” said Lt. Adkins. “We will continue to pursue and arrest those that sell drugs in Marion.”
Anyone with information on criminal activity is encouraged to call the Marion City Police Department at 740-387-2525, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office at 740-382-8244 or the TIPS Line at 740-375-TIPS.
