Six-Pound Meth Bust in Superior Prompts Drug Enforcement Warnings
On Oct. 15, Wyoming Department of Criminal Investigations agents and Superior Volunteer Police Chief Ozzie Knezovich arrested Danny Overy and Brian Baldwin with six pounds of methamphetamine allegedly intended for distribution in Superior and the greater Sweetwater County area. Town of Superior Mayor Dominic Wolf praised the joint operation while highlighting what he described as inadequate drug enforcement resources in small Sweetwater County communities, citing a violent crime rate of 3 per 1,000 residents and high opioid-related death rates. Wolf also claimed a Sweetwater County judge had previously acted sympathetically toward repeat drug offenders, though no specific case details were provided. Knezovich said additional charges are expected and noted he will continue assisting DCI as a citizen informant after stepping down as volunteer chief.
