Three people are behind bars following a drug investigation in the Mt. Weisner community of Cherokee County.
According to Cherokee County Sheriff Jeff Shaver, investigators, deputies, and members of the Cherokee County Emergency Response Team executed a search warrant Wednesday at a home on County Road 71. The warrant was obtained as part of an ongoing narcotics investigation conducted by the Sheriff’s Office.
