“Deputies assigned to the Crittenden County Sheriffs Department Narcotics Division executed a search warrant at a home located in Highland Park Subdivision located just south of the Marion Junior High Campus,” said Sheriff Mike Allen.

“Investigators conducted an investigation and determined that drugs were being sold from the Sparrow Street residence.”

Arrested after the search was Richard Hensley, 52, on multiple charges related to possession of illegal drugs with intent to distribute.
