DeKalb County Sheriff Nick Welden said of the arrests: “We conducted another successful saturation operation in Kilpatrick this week. We’ll be conducting more of these in different locations around the county.” “These operations help make our roadways safer and also help apprehend wanted criminals passing through our communities. In the case of Mr. Humpheries, we apprehended a wanted criminal who was also caught in the act of bringing a large amount of Methamphetamine into our county,” he said. “These offenders belong in our jail, not on our roads. God Bless!” Said Sheriff Welden. |
