This morning at approximately 8:00 AM members of the Morgan County Sheriff’s Dept., Wartburg City Police Dept., Ninth Judicial Drug Task Force, and agencies throughout East Tennessee began “Operation Trick-Or-Treat”.

Morgan County Sheriff stated that this is something that they have been working on for months. They have had members of the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department Drug Team and Wartburg City Police Department spend the last several months preparing for an undercover drug operation that included more than 50 controlled drug buys.

Friday morning with the help of several agencies throughout East Tennessee, they began to locate and obtain each suspect. Now, authorities are identifying suspects and taking them into custody.
