Drug Investigation Update – Donaldson Road, Philadelphia, TN 

This morning, the 9th Judicial Drug Task Force, with help from the Loudon County Sheriff's Office SWAT Team and Patrol Division, executed a search warrant on Donelson Road in Philadelphia as part of a 9th JDTF investigation into methamphetamine distribution in our community.

Thanks to the hard work and collaboration between our local and regional law enforcement partners, several individuals were detained, and methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia used for distribution were seized. This operation is part of a larger effort to address the presence of illegal drugs in our neighborhoods. Agents have been investigating this case for some time and have identified multiple people involved in selling methamphetamine—an extremely harmful and addictive drug that puts our families and communities at risk. The investigation is far from over, and charges are coming as we continue working to hold those responsible accountable.

The 9th Judicial Drug Task Force is made up of dedicated members from the Loudon Police Department, Lenoir City Police Department, the National Guard Counterdrug Unit, the 9th District Attorney General’s Office, and federal partners. We are committed to protecting our communities through teamwork, accountability, and transparency. We know that safe neighborhoods start with strong partnerships between law enforcement and the community.
