Sheriff Nicky Knight’s goal of combating the illegal drug trade in Calloway County is taking place on multiple fronts and coming to fruition on all levels. Our citizens routinely see the media releases of individuals charged with the possession of illegal drugs being arrested and taken before the courts. What the citizens do not see are the larger investigations that take months, sometimes years to culminate in the arrest of individuals in the drug trafficking world. More often than not these investigations cross county lines, state lines and require a significant amount of time and resources invested in them. Sheriff Knight has been able to employ a full time Narcotics Detective who is also employed as a DEA Task Force Officer. This bridges the gap from local and state charges to federal charges for offenders while providing more resources at the disposal of the Calloway County Sheriff’s Office. Individuals facing federal drug charges have stronger consequences for their actions with longer imprisonment in federal facilities which helps keep Calloway County a safer community. While an investigation may start in Calloway County it can quickly lead out of county or out of state and that’s where having someone with federal jurisdiction becomes an immediate asset. Though we don’t always see the charges in Calloway’s courtrooms, they still impact the amount of drugs that make it into our community.
However, on Aug 16, 2023 the below listed individual was sentenced to 7 years concurrent with all charges in the Calloway County Courts for the below listed charges. He was originally indicted by the grand jury in March 2022 after a long investigation that only involved the Calloway County Sheriff’s Office.
