Another subject at the residence, Brian Buckner (32 of Fort Payne) was arrested on an outstanding warrant for the City of Boaz.

DeKalb County Sheriff Nick Welden said: “We always appreciate the tips from the public, especially when it helps get dangerous drugs off the streets. Our Drug Task Force agents are working hard to handle these tips in a timely manner.”

“If you choose to use or sell drugs in our county, it’s very likely you’ll be paid a visit at some point. We hope and pray that those that do so get the help they need, but If not we’ll bring you in for a stay in our jail,” he said.

“God Bless!” Concluded Sheriff Welden.
