Another round of grand jury indictments that were handed down in December were unsealed today in Bingham County, keeping officers from around Eastern Idaho busy taking drug offenders off the streets. Kristi Henderson has been following this story.

The unsealing of today's indictments is the third go-around for Bingham County - sending a clear message to the community that drugs are not going to be tolerated.

Law enforcement entered homes, taking drug violators into custody.

Det. Paul Newbold, Blackfoot Police Department: "The majority of the drugs that are being dealt with here are meth, marijuana, and heroin."

...Arrests that take a lot of pre-planning to ensure the safety of everyone involved and to avoid other suspects being tipped off.

"There's not an opportunity for them to call their friends down the street that we're here."

The first arrest came in December, with seven arrests being made. Then in April, Bingham County arrested another 14 people on drug-related charges from grand jury indictments. Today, eight more are behind bars, taking some key players in the drug community off the streets.

Sheriff Dave Johnson, Bingham County: "These aren't just small people; these aren't just ones out here using. These are the ones selling to your children and my children and other people within the community."

Five more offenders were charged with various drug activity. Law enforcement says that there are more indictments that still need to be unsealed.

"They don't even know if somebody's going to be going to be hitting their door early in the morning. They don't know what we have or if their names are on the list."

...Thanks to a task force dedicated to attacking a serious problem.

Chief Dave Moore, Blackfoot Police Department: "We're going to clean up the drug problem in Bingham County."

Chief Moore also wanted to thank the other agencies who assisted them today in the arrests, including Soda Springs and Chubbuck Police Departments, Bannock and Bonneville County Sheriff's Offices, Idaho Probation and Parole, and the Department of Health and Welfare.
