DeKalb County Sheriff Nick Welden said of the incident: "Just because a crime occurs in another county or jurisdiction, doesn't mean it always ends there.  This is a great example of working across lines to assist one another and apprehending a suspect before further crimes come about in our county.  Fantastic and professional job done by our Investigators, Drug Task Force and Patrol on a safe apprehension."

"God Bless!" Concluded Sheriff Welden.
