On April 11, 2016 at approximately 3:40 PM Task Force deputies conducted a buy bust operation, with heroin being purchased.  Uniform deputies along with Celina Police officers secured the residence on Touvelle Street while a search warrant was applied for, and granted.   Task Force deputies recovered multiple used and unused syringes, suspected methamphetamine, assorted prescription medication, multiple empty capsules with suspected heroin residue inside, a small amount of cash, and various other drug paraphernalia.
 
This operation was a result of several tips received by the public and an investigation by the Task Force.  The investigation is ongoing, and will be forwarded to the Mercer County Prosecutor for consideration of additional charges
