Multiple Suspects Arrested during Evansville-Vanderburgh Drug Task Force Round Up

In November of 2014 detectives from the Evansville Police Department assigned to the Evansville-Vanderburgh County Drug Task Force began conducting controlled buys of crack cocaine from Mr. Obie Davis and several of his close associates.
