Detectives are conducting an investigating at the location for crimes relating to narcotics and identity theft. Additional charges may be filed, depending on the results of the investigation.

Sheriff Mike Reese, Law Enforcement Chief Deputy Nicole Morrisey O’Donnell and Special Investigations Unit Captain James Eriksen, who’s also Fairview’s Chief of Police, were on scene during this morning’s search warrant.
