Multiple Arrests Made during Henderson County Drug Raids

ATHENS — Since taking the oath of office in early June, Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse says he began following through on a key campaign pledge — to fight illegal drugs in Henderson County. KETK reports that to date, 13 people have been charged with felony possession of drugs, primarily suspected methamphetamine. The arrests came in four separate raids stretching from June 7 to 10. “The raids will continue,” Hillhouse said. “Last week, my office began what will be a systematic effort to make this an unfriendly County in Texas for illegal drugs and that campaign continues today.”
