Big Drug Raid

... in the neighborhood behind our office this morning. Russell went to the McDonald's about a mile from our office this morning to get coffee. While he was there, he saw several vehicles full of US Marshals putting on bullet-proof vests, checking weapons and stuff. Apparently there were several officers standing in the parking lot talking about something. He hung around waiting to see what was going on. I asked him if he walked up slowly to the group so he could hear what they said. He said, no. They were armed. LOL. Anyway, he came back and we wondered what was up. About that time, we noticed an OKC police car parked across the street. It was there for about 15 minutes before it took off at a high rate of speed down the street next to our office toward the housing addition behind our office.

Earlier this afternoon, Russell saw an article on Yahoo about a huge drug bust in OKC and Enid involving local, state and federal authorities. Apparently about 15 people were arrested from the neighborhood plus a bunch of people in Enid. Big crack cocaine ring involving people in California and Mexico. Whoa.

There were some major drug raids here in Miami, Commerce, and Grove yesterday, too. Something like 100 law enforcement were involved and several helicopters flying over Miami all morning yesterday. The paper said there were like 43 arrests and 70 warrants issued. Big stuff for Miami! haha
