“Operation Street Sweeper” yielded three more arrests on July 11 as the Demopolis Police Department executed two search warrants and made three more felony arrests and one misdemeanor arrest in the ongoing undercover investigation.

• Abraham Steele, 27, of Demopolis; three counts of distribution of controlled substance.

• Davin Scott, 28, of Demopolis; three counts of distribution of controlled substance.

Reese praised the efforts of the Demopolis Police Department Criminal Investigation Division and Narcotic Team “for all of their hard work in this operation.”

He also said additional arrests would be coming and that “Operation Street Sweeper” is far from over.

Bonds for all suspects were set at $25,000 per count.
