MT. JULIET POLICE INVESTIGATE HEROIN, METH OPERATION

Mt. Juliet Police conducted a search warrant Tuesday afternoon as part of
a heroin and methamphetamine investigation that closed Old Lebanon Dirt
Road near Nighthawk Lane.

The search warrant included explosions that police described as
"flashbangs," which were deployed as distractions because of information
the individuals inside may have been armed, Mt. Juliet Police Lt. Tyler
Chandler said.

"So, using distraction methods, helps minimize risk for the Special
Response Team members making entry," Chandler said.

Old Lebanon Dirt Road between Nighthawk Lane and Eagle Trace Drive was
closed for a period of time before being reopened.

The Tennessean will provide additional information as details become
available.
