Fayetteville, Tennessee — Investigators seized guns and meth in multiple February drug cases across Lincoln County.
According to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, the department’s Narcotics Division carried out several investigations throughout February 2026 targeting illegal drug activity in the county.
During those cases, investigators reported seizing six firearms, more than 50 grams of methamphetamine, crack cocaine, marijuana, and more than 100 Schedule II and Schedule III pills, according to a statement released by the sheriff’s office on social media.
Authorities said the seizures removed dangerous drugs and illegal weapons from circulation within the community.
Sheriff Murray “Mully” Malone praised narcotics investigators for their continued enforcement efforts and said the division remains focused on identifying and stopping individuals allegedly involved in distributing illegal drugs in Lincoln County.
“These seizures represent dangerous drugs and illegal weapons that are no longer on the streets of Lincoln County,” the sheriff’s office said in the statement.
Officials did not immediately release details about arrests connected to the cases or the locations where the items were seized. Investigations tied to the narcotics activity are ongoing.
The sheriff’s office said its narcotics investigators will continue working to combat drug distribution and related criminal activity throughout the county.
Residents with information about illegal drug activity are encouraged to contact the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office or submit tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers, according to officials.
Drug enforcement operations in the region often focus on methamphetamine trafficking, which law enforcement agencies across Tennessee have identified as a persistent concern in rural counties.
For local commuters and students, enforcement operations like these can affect community safety near neighborhoods, schools, and roadways.
