Agents and Officers of the Bartow Cartersville Drug Task Force – Special Operations Group, the Cartersville Police Department, Bartow County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia Department of Pardons and Parole, and the Georgia Department of Community Supervision executed multiple search and arrest warrants at 114 and 114 1/2 Courrant Street in Cartersville on Thursday.

As a result, they arrested 14 subjects on various drug, probation, and parole violations. In error, we were provided with the wrong number of 17 arrests last week. Authorities booked all 14 into the Bartow County Jail.

These arrests culminated from a two-month-long investigation into the drug distribution activities occurring at the above location.
