Gville resident among 15 fugitives arrested by White Co. authorities

A month-long investigation culminated this week with the arrests of 15 “wanted persons,” including a 26-yer-old Gainesville resident, by the White County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO).

In addition, “large quantities” of illegal drugs were seized, according to a news release.

Those arrested, in addition to Gainesville, are from Cleveland, Dacula, Monticello, Powder Springs, Suwanee, and Dahlonega.

The Gainesville resident, Manrique Delacruz, was arrested on a Hall County warrant for reckless driving, reckless conduct, and driving with a suspended license.
