WILLIAMSON — Multiple arrests took place on Friday of last week, as law enforcement officials within Mingo County hit the streets before dawn to begin serving warrants on numerous individuals who had been indicted by the Grand Jury on drugs and other criminal charges. Several defendants were easier than most to locate, however, as the officers had to look no further than the Southwestern Regional Jail at Holden, where they were being held on other charges.
Information on those who were arraigned on Monday before the Honorable Judge Michael Thornsbury is listed below.
