A Salisbury man was arrested here last week, charged after a multi-agency investigation into methampehetamine trafficking.
Davie Sheriff JD Hartman reported on Feb. 13 that his deputies, in collaboration with NC SBI, Ashe County Sheriff’s Office, and Rowan County Sheriff’s Office concluded an investigation into methamphetamine trafficking resulting in the arrest of Clifford Jerome Clement, 50. Clement was charged with eight counts of trafficking methamphetamine and is being held in the Davie County Detention Center under a $1 million bond, with a first-appearance hearing on Feb. 27.
“This multi-agency operation was a coordinated effort between all agencies involved and uncovered Clement being a source of methamphetamine in Davie and Ashe counties,” Hartman said.
The sheriff commended the teamwork and dedication of the agencies.
“This arrest sends a clear message that drug trafficking will not be tolerated in our community. We are committed to working with our law enforcement partners to dismantle these criminal networks.”
