The MARMET Drug Task Force said they arrested a man from Detroit on Thursday for dealing drugs. The arrest came after detectives from MARMET executed a search warrant in relation to a month-long investigation into drug trafficking.
Shortly after 3:00 p.m. on May 29, 2014, MARMET detectives, with assistance of officers from the Marion Police Department and deputies from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, executed a search warrant at 238 East George Street.
