11 arrested on drug charges in Rutland County

RUTLAND, Vt. (WCAX) Police say nearly a dozen drug dealers are off the streets in Rutland County after multiple state and federal drug investigations.

Vermont State Police say there are five federal defendants and six state defendants. Investigators say all 11 face charges related to the sale or conspiracy to distribute drugs including heroin, fentanyl and cocaine.

During the investigations, the Vermont Drug Task Force seized substances that police say were later found to contain dangerous mixtures of drugs. Police are now investigating whether those drugs were linked to any recent fatal overdoses in the area.
