Knoxville, TN (WOKI) One person is facing charges following the discovery by investigators Monday of more than two-and-a-half pounds of meth at a North Knoxville home.
Officials with the Knox County Sheriff’s Office say the meth, an unspecified amount of marijuana and other items consistent with the manufacturing and distribution of illegal narcotics were seized during the execution of a search warrant at a home on Metler Drive, which is off of Clinton Highway.
KCSO says the bust comes as a result of a joint operation targeting methamphetamine distribution in Knox and Anderson Counties.
The investigation is ongoing, and the sheriff’s office says more charges are “likely.”
“This operation highlights the ongoing commitment of our agency and our partners in the 7th Judicial Drug and Violent Crimes Task Force to aggressively pursue drug traffickers and remove dangerous substances from our communities,” the sheriff’s office wrote.
