HENDERSON COUNTY, N.C. (WSPA) — Forty-one people have been arrested and six others are still being sought in a drug investigation in Henderson County, authorities said.

“Operation The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” began after investigators said they got numerous complaints about alleged drug sales, drug trafficking and overdose cases.

Deputies said the arrests were the result of a six-month-long investigation that resulted in seven search warrants being executed at locations in Henderson County, Hendersonville, and Greenville County.

Henry Hunt of Hendersonville was identified as the source of the various drugs, according to the sheriff’s office.

Henderson County investigators seized heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine, marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms, more than $24,000, four guns and one vehicle. The sheriff’s office also identified six “drug houses” in Henderson County which they reportedly closed.

The sheriff’s office also said authorities are still looking for six people allegedly linked to the investigation.
