“Your Sheriff’s office remains committed to fighting the war on illegal drugs in Stephens County. I commend the work of these deputies who are out here making legal stops and getting illegal drugs off of our roadways,” said Sheriff Rusty Fulbright. “Not every bust is going to be a pound of narcotics, but each bust helps take a little more off our streets and out of the hands of our youth, our family members, our friends. This is about more than stacking up drugs in our evidence locker – it’s about protecting our community as a whole.”
