DeKalb County Sheriff Nick Welden said of the incident: “I am so proud of our Law Enforcement in our county for the amazing jobs they do daily to keep this poison off of our streets and out of the hands of our children. Almost everyone knows someone that has been affected by drugs and know that it not only affects the user but their family and friends as well. And for our guys and girls to confiscate any amount before it gets into the hands of your family is considered a win.”
“God Bless!” Concluded Sheriff Welden.
