The B.U.R.N. Task Force targets drug dealers and works with local law enforcement partners on operations.

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said getting these drugs off the streets will be “protecting families from the life-destroying poison that these traffickers bring into our communities.”

“Every gram of this poison we take off the street is a life we’re potentially saving,” he said. “My office will continue to hunt down drug dealers and put them exactly where they belong ― in jail. We will not allow these criminals to destroy families in our Butler County community.”

The investigation remains ongoing, according to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office.
