Sheriff Ramsey Bennett (front, center) shows off new sheriff’s office patrol trucks purchased with drug forfeiture money. Bennett is shown with deputies including (l-r) Lt. Brad Justice, Sgt. Bruce Burrows, Donald Shuman and Jack Golub.

Pierce County has utilized over $600,000 in seized drug forfeiture funds to purchase and equip 12 patrol trucks for the sheriff’s office.

“We decided to take the money from the dope dealers and put it to good use serving the citizens and the taxpayers of Pierce County,” said Sheriff Ramsey Bennett.

The funds have been used over a period of 12 years to purchase new patrol vehicles as they wear out and need to be replaced.
