During this joint effort from local and federal law enforcement, detectives from the Adams County Sheriff’s Office made significant investigative contributions in this case.

We are proud of the work that our deputies and detectives do each and every day.  We are thankful for their dedication to keeping the citizens of Adams County safe.

It is the collaboration amongst law enforcement and the high-quality investigative work in cases like these that keep our community and our residents safe.
