Legal Experience

The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction described Operation Spring Sweep as an enforcement operation involving nearly 200 local, state, and federal law-enforcement officers. The operation served outstanding warrants, sought probation absconders, and conducted compliance checks on high-risk and violent probation or parole offenders. West said: “The Cumberland County District Attorney's Office is proud to participate with our many law enforcement partners in Operation Spring Sweep,” said District Attorney Billy West. “This search and warrant enforcement initiative has been successful in removing illegal narcotics, illegal firearms, and violent criminals from our community. We look forward to continuing to work with our law enforcement partners to successfully prosecute the cases arising from Operation Spring Sweep.”
