An investigation this month involving multiple law enforcement agencies resulted in arrests and the recovery of drugs and a firearm.
“In February of this year, members of the Randall County Sheriff’s Office Special Operations Unit (SOU) made great strides in continuing to protect our community,” the Randall County Sheriff’s Office (RCSO) said in a news release issued Saturday. “This happened while working alongside members of the Potter County Sheriff’s Office Special Operations Division, Amarillo Police Department Federal Task Force Agents, and Amarillo DEA Resident Office.
“Working hand in hand with these agencies, the Randall County Sheriff’s Office SOU led numerous operations related to cocaine distribution in the Randall/Potter communities. These operations culminated on February 15, 2024, with agents recovering distribution amounts of cocaine, a firearm, and evidence of large-scale drug distribution.”
RCSO said numerous arrests of suspects were made, including for Stanley Britton Jr., who is currently serving felony probation for a charge received less than a year ago of felon in possession of a firearm. Britton is now facing multiple felony charges in Randall and Potter Counties for the reported distribution of cocaine and a new charge of possession of a firearm by a felon, RCSO said.
