Mount Vernon Optic-Herald

A joint Mount Vernon/Franklin County and Winnsboro law enforcement effort resulted in drug busts in both cities. The effort began as an undercover sting by Franklin County officers about three weeks ago. The operation resulted in the arrest of two persons thus far, and the confiscation of just under a pound of what field tested to be methamphetamine. The estimated street value of the drug in Texas is between $34,000 and $50,000. See the April 7 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald for the rest of the story.
