"Operation Clear Out" has resulted in 20 arrest involving meth distribution in Middle Tennessee.

According to reports on Monday, a Wayne County grand jury indicted at least 20 people in connection to “Operation Clear Out," where these individuals are responsible for distributing meth throughout Middle Tennessee.

Wayne County Sheriff Shane Fisher stated that a routine drug investigation that began in August of last year resulted in officers finding hundreds of pounds of crystal meth in Wayne, Perry, Lewis and Lawrence counties.

Sheriff Fisher explains that the people arrested in this operation are not users or manufacturers of meth, but are dealers.

Through their investigation they discovered that the meth being sold in this operation is not being cooked in Middle Tennessee, but is coming from Mexican drug cartels.

This operation even crossed state lines resulting in a large number of local dealers being put in jail where Sheriff Fisher hopes this put a small dent in a very large problem in the community.
