The investigation took place in this home that sits at the corner of Old Jacksboro Highway and Gibson Lane.

Narcotics Investigators with the sheriff’s office located a quantity of prescription pain pills and more than a quarter-million dollars in U.S. currency believed to be proceeds in the sale of illegal narcotics. CCSO Investigators are still processing evidence, and Thacker will be facing charges for the sale of illegal narcotics.

“My investigators and deputies work countless hours to combat the illegal drug problem in our county, and this is one of the many cases our investigators are currently working and I want to thank them for the sacrifice they make each and every day in making our county a safer place.”  (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 04/26/2019-5:30PM – PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE CCSD)
