4 detained at same home after community complaints
The same home served a previous search warrant for illegal narcotics activity on July 8.
Despite the initial arrests, officials stated that illegal narcotics activity continued, necessitating additional investigation and a fresh search warrant.
According to investigators, Hodge was out on felony bond and GPS monitoring at the time of his arrest for charges related to the earlier search warrant at the same address.
What they’re saying: Police attributed the arrests to excellent collaboration between detectives and the community.
“Let’s continue working together to keep illegal activity out of our neighborhoods and away from our local families,” the Sanford Police Department said.
Police are asking the public to continue contacting law enforcement or Crime Line to report any suspicious activities.
