Drug and Weapon Arrests for ...
Drug and Weapon Arrests for Week of December 27
As 2021 came to a close this past week, Knoxville Police Department officers continued in their pursuit to take drugs and illegally-owned guns off of the streets.
In a review of KPD incident reports from December 27, 2021 through January 2, 2022, KPD officers either arrested or charged 43 individuals with weapon or drug charges over that seven-day period. The ages of those charged with those offenses ranged from the youngest at 14 to the oldest at 63. Additionally, over that timeframe officers confiscated the following: at least 15 guns that were possessed in violation of state law, over 43 grams of heroin, nearly 350 grams of meth, over four grams of cocaine, 70 grams of presumed ecstasy, 288 grams of pills, over 80 pieces of drug paraphernalia and over $4,000 in cash.
Preventing violent crime and overdose deaths are top priorities of the Knoxville Police Department. Towards that end, KPD officers will remain vigilant in their efforts to take drugs and prohibited weapons out of the community. Public safety is a shared initiative, and we always want and need the community’s help. If you have information regarding possible drug activity, a crime or the whereabouts of a wanted fugitive, remember that East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers is available 24/7/365. Crime Stoppers can be reached by phone at 865-215-7165, online at
www.easttnvalleycrimestoppers.org
or via the P3 Tips mobile app. Those providing information will always remain anonymous and be eligible to receive a cash reward.
