Six people have been arrested in connection with a meth and heroin drug ring operating out of Blaine County.
On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, members of the Blaine County Narcotics Enforcement Team (also known as NET) executed arrest warrants on suspects they say are connected with the drug trafficking operation.
