A two-year narcotics operation in Patrick County resulted in 42 people being indicted in October on 256 drug-related charges, and multiple search warrants led to the seizure of weapons and narcotics, according to the Patrick County Sheriff's Office. Several people have been arrested, with more still wanted.

The sheriff's office said deputies and other agencies began Operation Breaking Point on May 26. On Monday, Oct. 26, the Patrick County tactical team executed a warrant in the 1000 block of Palmetto School Road in Stuart while Henry County deputies executed a warrant at the same time in Patrick Springs. The Henry County tactical team then executed a warrant in the 2000 block of Woolwine Highway in Stuart at 10:49 a.m., and another Patrick County team executed a warrant in the 40 block of Chili Lane in Ararat at 1:35 p.m. Methamphetamine, fentanyl and weapons were seized during the searches.

Operation Breaking Point was led by Patrick County Sheriff's Office Special Investigations Unit Lieutenant Oscar Tejeda and Investigator Faith Hubbard. Assisting agencies included the Henry County Sheriff's Office, Floyd County Sheriff's Office, Carroll County Sheriff's Office, the Surry County and Stokes County sheriff's offices in North Carolina, and the Drug Enforcement Administration, with Martinsville Police Department and Virginia State Police also assisting Monday. All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
