Anybody have the list of names?????

The Otero County Sheriff's Department arrested Friday about 82 people on various felony narcotics charges and one firearms violation that was part of an eight-month undercover operation conducted by the Otero County Narcotics Enforcement Unit, Sheriff Benny House said.
House said OCNEU agents identified a total of 100 arrest warrants issued for suspects in Otero County, which included 12 warrants issued in Lincoln County.
He said all the arrest warrants were based on undercover illegal narcotics purchases in Otero County by undercover OCSD deputies.
"The operation resulted in arrest warrants for people ranging from El Paso and throughout New Mexico," he said. " The persons identified and charged with criminal violations had a direct link to the trafficking of illegal contraband into Otero County. We sent a team of deputies to Lincoln and turned the 12 warrants over to the LCSO, then OCSD deputies assisted in serving the warrants. The cases worked on the Lincoln County defendants was a joint effort between the Otero County Sheriff's Department and Lincoln County Sheriff's Office.
