A collaborative effort involving the Allen and Bourbon county sheriffs departments and the Chanute Police Department brought about multiple arrests and citations.
The results were announced Sunday by Allen County Sheriff Bryan Murphy.
The operations were described by Murphy as enhanced traffic enforcement.
On two days in September, law enforcement officers from all three jurisdictions along with five K9 units made 51 traffic stops, issued nine citations and reported seven arrests in Allen County.
A similar endeavor in Bourbon County on Oct. 2 resulted in 65 traffic stops, with three arrests and 65 citations.
The final event occurred in Chanute on Thursday, leading to 39 traffic stops, with seven arrests and 34 citations.
The primary goal, Murphy said, was to target illegal narcotics, and to demonstrate our streets and communities are not a safe haven for drug trafficking.
Murphy elaborated on the effort in a subsequent social media post.
Yes, people really did go to jail for drugs, he wrote. Yes, we seized their cars, too. No, we arent sorry. Yes, we will be doing it again. No, we wont tell you when or where.
