Salt Lake police arrest 20 in downtown sting
Associated Press - March 20, 2010 6:25 AM ET
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Police have arrested 20 people as part of an ongoing effort to fight drugs in downtown Salt Lake City.
Detective Dennis McGowan says 16 suspects were arrested for investigation of buying drugs and four for investigation of drug distribution. All were booked into jail on potential felony counts.
He says the arrests came as three dozen officers saturated and area of 200 South for more than five hours starting about 10 p.m. Thursday. The majority of drugs being dealt were cocaine and heroin.
McGowan says investigators will continue to hold similar sting operations at different times and locations.
A year ago, police conducted an intensive drug sweep that lasted several days and resulted in more than 200 arrests.
