Police helicopters, Barnetts Creek, Sanders Ridge area

Click on headline for dispatch plus photo(s)

Special Dispatch from Christine Martin

There was a helicopter circling the Barnetts Creek and Sanders Ridge area around 10amCT, today (Friday, August 5, 2011) for well over 1/2 hour. I suspect they were searching for Marijuana and from the actions of those in the helicopter they found it.I believe they had ground support they were directing to the location but I couldn't get pictures. I could not see them from where I stood. I am emailing the pictures of the helicopter, I also have video but I am not sending that at this time. - Christine Martin
