Two Major Busts in a Week Showcase Dedicated Law Enforcement Efforts

Back-to-Back Drug Busts Illuminate the Night
Residents of Front Royal have witnessed a commendable commitment to safety and lawfulness from their local police. In two separate incidents, just days apart, officers of the Warren County Sheriff’s Office ensured a significant amount of drugs would never reach the streets.

Deputy Ulibarri’s Sharp Observations Lead to Arrests
On the evening of October 3, 2023, Deputy Ulibarri’s watchful eyes detected a vehicle struggling to keep its course on North Shenandoah Avenue. After seeing the car drift over lines, Ulibarri stopped the vehicle at 1724 North Shenandoah Avenue. Alongside Sergeant Gregory and the ever-reliable canine Roman, an air sniff resulted in a red flag for drugs. This led to a comprehensive search, unearthing 20 grams of crack cocaine, 10 grams of heroin, 10 Suboxone patches, and other illegal items. This encounter concluded with the arrest of Racheal D. Huntt and Cristan Blow on multiple drug charges.

A Keen Deputy Doffermire Dismantles Another Drug Operation
Just five days later, on October 8, Deputy Doffermire’s routine patrol turned significant. Noticing a car behaving oddly, perhaps to avoid law enforcement, Doffermire acted. His hunch paid off when a search revealed 25 grams of crack cocaine, 3.25 grams of methamphetamine, and various drug paraphernalia, including $343 in cash. The driver, William Leslie Moore III, now faces multiple charges, underscoring Doffermire’s consistent and insightful commitment to his community’s well-being.

Officers Hold the Front Line Against Drug Activities
These consecutive incidents highlight the pivotal role officers play in keeping Front Royal safe. Their proactive approach, combined with a deep understanding of the community’s nuances, proves invaluable. Residents can sleep a tad more soundly knowing officers like Ulibarri and Doffermire, with their sharp instincts, are on patrol. These actions remind us that even on routine nights, dedicated officers are always working hard to ensure safety.
