   Seventeen Sevier County residents were arrested Thursday in a drug round up by Sevier County law enforcement officials. The sweep began at 7 a.m. and continued into the night. More arrests are expected as more suspects are located.

   The suspects had all been indicted earlier in the week by a Sevier County Grand Jury that handed down sealed indictments. The indictments were the result of a six-month undercover drug operation investigation.
