The Butler County Sheriff’s Office said that by targeting individuals involved in the trafficking and possession of dangerous narcotics, B.U.R.N. continues to remove deadly drugs and illegal firearms from our neighborhoods.
“You bring that poison into Butler County and illegally possess a gun, you can make your own decisions, but you don’t get to choose the consequences,” Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones said.
