Busy Year For Drug-Busts In Kirksville

The police department along with Adair sheriff’s deputies and the State Patrol report more than 30 arrests so far this year in Kirksville on drug charges — arresting suspects for both possession and for selling dope. Searches have recovered meth and fentanyl and stolen guns. Police Chief Scott Williamson said that these drug raids can be very dangerous for officers. He said they risk armed resistance, aggressive dogs and exposure to deadly narcotics or chemicals.”
