A seven-month long narcotics investigation ended with the arrest of 6 people in the Panhandle on October 22.
At 6 a.m. four search warrants were served on properties in Jefferson and Berkeley Counties according to repots.
The investigation was initiated after a citizen complained about potential drug activity at 66 Tally Ho Drive in Kearnesyville.
Officers set up surveillance of the location and observed at least 57 people making brief visits to the residence.
Of those visits four people were stopped and arrested and found to have crack cocaine in their possession.
That investigation and those arrest led to a new location in Berkeley County where 20 controlled buys netted over 28 grams of crack and powder cocaine.
That investigation utilized over $3,500 in discretionary funds.
Four search warrants were issued after that investigation and the seizure of over 3 ounces of crack cocaine and $4,000 in cash, a handgun and a 2007 Dodge Nitro.
Robert McDowell, Carlton Stubbs, Reginald Creamer, and Brandon Breeden are all facing various counts of distribution with two facing conspiracy charges.
Damon McDowell and Steven Allen are facing conspiracy charges as well with the October 22 arrest.
All are being held in the Eastern Regional Jail awaiting bond.
