Early on July 31, agents from the West Tennessee Drug Task Force's 29th District swept into a home in Ridgely with a search warrant in hand, an operation stemming from an ongoing investigation.

The raid resulted in the seizure of a substantive amount of illegal substances and firearms paraphernalia, specifically around 6-1/2 lbs. of marijuana and three handgun magazines the Task Force's social media dispatch reported that the agents, joined by the Ridgely Police Department and Lake County Sheriff's Department, didn't find their primary suspect at the scene, a previously convicted felon who is now the subject of active arrest warrants, as per the social media post by the West Tennessee Drug Task Force.

As the agencies continue their search for the suspect, the case is being propelled forward under the domain of the District Attorney General's office for Tennessee's 29th Judicial District, helmed by Danny Goodman, Jr. The seized contraband underscores the persistent efforts of local law enforcement to clamp down on drug-related activities within the community.

The current location of the fugitive subject remains undisclosed, however, the authorities are requesting anyone with information to come forward.
