A Sardis man was taken into custody after a joint narcotics investigation that included the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Drug Investigation Division and deputies from the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office and the Decatur County Sheriff’s Office. The arrest followed investigative activity that culminated on February 20, 2026.

Agents and deputies from the TBI Drug Investigation Division worked alongside Henderson County Sheriff’s Office personnel and Decatur County Sheriff’s Office personnel during the probe, which targeted narcotics activity connected to the Sardis area in Decatur County.
