So far 10 people have been arrested on drug charges by the Stokes County Sheriff’s Office through Operation Generation Decline, which began Thursday morning.
According to a press release from the department, officers with the Stokes County Sheriff’s Office, along with N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement officers, met in Danbury on Thursday to begin Operation Generation Decline. After a briefing, officers were sent out into communities across the county to attempt to arrest suspected drug dealers and users.
Operation Generation Decline was a result of a series of undercover investigations by the Stokes County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Division spanning several months. The sheriff’s office had assistance from N.C. ALE and the Surry County Sheriff’s Office during their investigation.
Thirteen suspects face a total of 47 criminal charges in connection with the operation. At this time, 10 of the suspects have been arrested with officers following up with information in an attempt to arrest the remaining suspects.
Sheriff Mike Marshall called this drug investigation “Operation Generation Decline” because of the different ages of suspects that were arrested. The suspects have birth dates that range from the 1940s up to the 1990s. Marshall stated that this shows how drugs are affecting all generations in society today. Marshall went on to say that drugs are not just affecting the younger generation, but seniors as well. He noted that not just one type of drug was seized but various types of drugs.
