From the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office (PDF):
The Caroline County Sheriff’s Office continues their war on illegal drugs and distribution. According to Sheriff A. A. “Tony” Lippa, the mass arrest operation started at 5:30 this morning. The Caroline County Grand Jury met October 1, 2008 and issued 57 drug distribution related indictments against several individuals. These indictments are based on the continuing efforts of the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office Investigative Division with support from the Virginia State Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The Caroline County Sheriff’s Office continued making arrests of suspected illegal drug dealers this morning as part of a year long undercover drug investigation. The Caroline Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Investigators, Special Emergency Response Team and troopers and special agents from the Virginia State Police began arresting suspects on October the 16th. when they executed two search warrants within Caroline County and arrested four suspects on drug distribution related charges. Both of these search warrants resulted in the seizure of cocaine with a street value of over $2,000.00, a .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun, over $8,000.00 in currency, weight scales containing white powder residue and two vehicles valued at $40,000.00.
This morning the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office continued the operation by executing two more drug related search warrants and arresting 15 additional suspected drug dealers on a total of 57 drug related indictments ranging from distribution of cocaine and conspiracy to distribute cocaine, to distribution of marijuana. The Caroline Sheriff’s Office Special Emergency Response Team executed a search warrant in the Ruther Glen area which resulted in the arrest of a suspect and the seizure of $3,000.00 in currency.
Caroline Narcotics Officers, assisted by the Virginia State Police Tactical Team executed a search warrant in the Cedon area which resulted in the seizure of cocaine with a street value of $2800.00, $2000.00 in currency, weight scales containing white powder residue and the arrest of a mother and son team accused of distributing cocaine.
Sheriff Tony Lippa stated, “This operation has been a success thanks to the citizens of Caroline County who have been willing to take a stand against these illegal drugs and help Investigators conduct such operations as this. We have made great strides in our fight against illegal drugs and more arrests are to come.”
Sheriff Lippa also credited the Sheriffs of Hanover, King George and Westmoreland Counties, the Colonial Beach Police Department, the Virginia State Police, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration for assisting in the execution of these warrants. Sheriff Lippa extends his appreciation and thanks to these citizens and law enforcement agencies who have provided such great assistance.
“This is an extensive on-going investigation and no further details will be released at this time,” said Sheriff Lippa.

So I heard about this when one of my best friends called me and ytold me they just came and arrested her husband. They took over $10,000.00 cash from his house and his vehicle. I’m sure they are pocketing so much of this money. Caroline is the most backwards government I have ever seen.
Uh-huh, you’re sure “they are pocketing some of this money”; and what evidence do you have for that allegation?
Tay, it’s not backwards government – it’s called “asset forfeiture.” Why don’t you check out Va. Code 19.2-386.22 before you start accusing law enforcement of wrongdoing.
Heh, I didn’t think about asset forfeiture; I thought it was an accusation of criminal wrongdoing (theft of evidence) a la Vic Mackey.
You gotta love the fact that was no claim of innocence about the person arrested. :)
yeah there is no clam of innocence thanks to good old willie linch. the founder of controlling black people. its still working, you just dont have a clu. try watching american drug war the last great white hope. and your in the slavery towns capital, can a white person see what we see. conduct a test cover you face in brown and go for a drive tilt youe hat and ride on the other side of town, and look at the police rong you will be stopped
