CLAY COUNTY, Indiana (DLC Media) – A press conference was held in Clay County to discuss the arrest of 18 people following a months-long investigation in what was the largest drug bust in Clay County history.

12.5 lbs. of Methamphetamine were confiscated in one evening. A final total of nearly 14 lbs. was found over the entire investigation. An additional five lbs. of Marijuana has been taken as well. The final value of all that was confiscated totals $206,000.
