Tamer Staff writer

In an ongoing investigation targeting street- level drug dealers, the Waco Police Depart- ment began serving arrest warrants Thursday. The majority of charges were for the delivery of crack cocaine. As of Thursday afternoon, 20 arrests had been made. “It’s obvious we have street-level narcotics dealings going on from what has occurred in this operation,” said Steve Anderson, spokesman for the Waco Police Department. With cooperation of area residents, phase one of the investigation began in the summer and resulted in 38 suspects being identified and 50 arrest warrants being issued, Ander- son said. Warrants were not served until Thursday because of the nature of the investigation, he said. “Anytime you have a narcotics operation going on, you are conducting business in a Aaron Turney/Lariat staff certain way,” Anderson said. “If you go out an A recent study at Stanford University revealed a connection between the amount of sleep ing to sacrifice an hour of sleep for an extra hour to study have higher GPAs than those arrest them right away, they will know who students get each night to their GPAs.
