MARION — The Marion Police Department announced Wednesday that three men have been arrested as part of a several month long investigation into drug dealing in the Grant County city.

According to information from Detective Michael Ross, the JEAN Team Drug Taskforce arrested James Darquan McCreary, 40, Cortez Maurice Love, 37, and Jeffery Jerel Campbell, 33. The three men each face multiple felony drug charges.
