“This concerns us because it’s an unusually large amount of this drug that was seized,” says Assistant Director T.J. Jordan of the Drug Investigation Division. “In the form in which it was delivered, it would likely be turned around and used in thousands of pills and capsules for distribution throughout Tennessee.”
"This situation again shows the importance of partnerships between our local law enforcement agencies and the TBI," says Murfreesboro Police Chief Mike Bowen. "We are proud of the efforts of all officers involved."
