“This is another effort by our personnel to bring those responsible for feeding the addictions of our citizens to justice. This is a never ending battle that results in prolonged investigations. These investigations eventually result in holding those in the drug business accountable for their illegal activities. Overdoses and overdose deaths are skyrocketing in Levy County. As Sheriff, I can assure our citizens that we will do everything possible to continue to bring to justice those criminals that are facilitating deaths and overdoses through their sales of illegal drugs,” stated Sheriff McCallum.
