Indian River County Sheriff Deryl Loar stated, “So many of those entering our county jail are drunk or high during their initial intake. Illegal narcotics are the fuel for other crimes within our community. These two seizures removed a sizable amount of narcotics from our streets, but we know others are out there. Know that we will find you and you will be held accountable for your crimes.”
