Eleven search warrants in Cache County

By Sophia Blankmeyer 

Logan City Police Sgt. Shand Nazer sat down at the weekly meeting he has been attending for more than 14 years. As other drug-task force officers took their places, he sat there knowing the task would not be able to be completed for the week. They began planning out their week and he broke the news. 

Eleven search warrants were approved this week for Cache County. 

“We need more officers available for the warrants,” Sgt. Nazer said. “We rarely see more than one per week.”

Since the beginning of the year, one search warrant a week was common. The local judges would determine if the investigation needed to run longer or if there was enough probable cause that would result in a search warrant. 

“With the weather getting nicer, people are outside more and we get calls all the time,” Lt. Brad Franke said. 

Four search warrants were completed by today, the rest will carry over to next week.
