“With us being in such a rural area, we depend on other local agencies and state agencies as well,” 17th Judicial Circuit Drug Task Force Commander Clint Sumlin said of the cooperation between law enforcement agencies on this and similar cases.

Gandy’s arrest came as part of an ongoing investigation.
