From the Wright County Sheriff’s Department:
On October 31, 2025, in the early morning hours, the Wright County Special Operations Group (SOG) — comprised of Wright County Deputies, Mountain Grove Police Officers, and Mansfield Police Officers — along with the COMET Drug Task Force, executed a high-risk narcotics search warrant north of Mountain Grove.
This joint effort shows how law enforcement across Wright County is working together better than ever to get illegal narcotics off our streets, protect our families, and keep our communities safe.
The operation resulted in four arrests, all of whom are prior convicted felons and the seizure of over five (5) ounces of methamphetamine (over 160 grams).
