On 08/28/2026, the Lawrence County District Attorney's Special Investigations Unit and HIDTA Group, the Drug Enforcement Administration Group 66, the Pennsylvania State Police, the Union Township Police Department, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation executed two search warrants. Through the course of an investigation, it was determined that 309 Bell Avenue and 906 Emery Street were being utilized to sell, manufacture, and store controlled substances.

The first residence at 309 Bell Avenue was secured by the Pennsylvania State Police Special Emergency Response Team (SERT). Inside was the target of the investigation, Ryan Fitzpatrick.

The second residence, 906 Emery Street, was secured by the HIDTA Group and upon entry several individuals were detained pending a search of the residence.

🚨 SCAM ALERT – PLEASE SHARE 🚨

The Lawrence County Sheriff's Office is warning the public about a sophisticated phone scam involving fake arrest warrants and fraudulent court documents.

Scammers are posing as law enforcement officers or court officials and falsely claiming you have an active warrant. They pressure victims to stay on the phone while they withdraw cash and direct them to deposit money through a Bitcoin ATM, Coinstar machine, or purchase gift cards.

Remember:
• We will NEVER demand payment over the phone to avoid arrest or clear a warrant.
• We will NEVER ask you to stay on the phone while you go to the bank.
• We will NEVER tell you to pay with Bitcoin, a Coinstar machine, cryptocurrency, or gift cards.

Please share this post to help protect your family, friends, neighbors, and especially our senior citizens from becoming victims of these criminals. Together, we can keep our communities informed and safe.
