Although it isn’t yet Halloween, authorities in Nicholas County went door-to-door Wednesday, executing 36 drug-related arrest warrants as part of “Operation Trick or Treat.”

The Nicholas County Sheriff’s Department, Summersville Police Department, West Virginia State Police, Department of Natural Resources, United States Marshals Service and the FBI executed the warrants which stemmed from work conducted by the Central West Virginia Drug Task Force. Arrests were made in Richwood, Nettie, Craigsville, Birch River and Summersville.

More than 100 people were arrested on drug violations in Nicholas County through Operation Trick or Treat and Operation Spring Cleaning, which was conducted in April.
