A state-led gang task force has made 85 arrests as part of a sweeping effort to take down drug-dealing operations in eastern Arizona. DPS officials say a coalition of law enforcement agencies has been investigating the sale of illicit drugs in Gila and Navajo counties since September. “Operation Globetrotter” has also yielded 11-search warrants, seven of which were conducted between last Wednesday and Thursday in and around Globe. In that two-day period, officers rounded up 25 suspects. Authorities also seized more than 3-pounds of methamphetamine, 3-ounces of heroin, 5-firearms and 4-stolen vehicles. (Thanks to AP)
