Fentress Sheriff’s Deputies Recover Drugs, Cash During Festival Patrols

Fentress County Sheriff’s Deputies recovered drugs, drug paraphernalia, and cash over the weekend in patrols around the Sound Haven Music Festival.

Sheriff’s Deputies retrieved over 51 grams of marijuana and 32 grams of mushrooms. Deputies also confiscated 10 grams of Ketamine which is used to facilitate sexual assault crimes, due to it causing people to become unconscious.

The Sheriff’s Office began increasing patrols due earlier in the week due to a reported influx of traffic near the Tinch Town Road area.

Extra Patrol went on throughout the weekend with the help of the Tennessee Highway Patrol and the Harriman Police Department Narcotics Unit. Several traffic stops were made which resulted in several traffic citations and multiple drug arrests.
