MARTIN COUNTY — Over the course of two days last week, deputies, Stuart police officers and other local and state agencies arrested 47 people and confiscated a slew of drugs, guns and burglary tools during their latest drug interdiction, Sheriff William Snyder said Wednesday.

The Sheriff's Office would not identify 40 of the 47 people arrested.

From the arrests that took place Aug. 29 and Aug. 30, the agencies confiscated almost 10 ounces of ecstasy, a few ounces of fentanyl, a few hundred doses of methamphetamine and heroin, 150 grams of edible THC, multiple guns and $17,000.

"We don't look at this as some kind of display of trophies ... these are some instruments of death," Snyder said.

Out of the arrests, there were 33 felony charges. One of those charges was for Rommell Jackson, 26, of Fort Pierce, who was found with more than half a pound of ecstasy during a stop in Palm City, he said.

Since the beginning of the year, 152 people have overdosed in Martin County, with 25 dying as a result, he said.

"We cannot stand by idly as these overdoses and deaths continue," he said.

As an initiative with the state and other local law enforcement agencies, the Sheriff's Office participated in a two-day patrol where officers and deputies stopped drivers on Interstate 95 in Martin County in an attempt to stop drugs from trickling throughout the county and the state.

"My slice of the pie, my place at the table is to try to prevent (drugs) from ending up in the hands of our children and adults," Snyder said.

The initiative, which is called a high-intensity drug trafficking area interdiction, was the fifth one the Sheriff's Office has participated in, Snyder said.

Snyder said the agency plans to partake in the initiative again in the future.

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, unfortunately I think our interstates are washed in drugs, narcotics, guns and other things that are so destructive to the lives of innocent people," Snyder said.
