Perry County Men Charged In Federal Court
Two Perry County men with a history of drug trafficking according to officials now face federal charges as the result of an investigation that began last year by Operation UNITE.
52 year old Jerry D. Delaney and 72 year old Delvin Caudill were arrested last week on criminal complaints filed by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency in London. Both were charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute OxyContin, a Schedule II controlled substance.
Caudill was released on bond. Delaney is being held in the Laurel County Detention Center pending a detention hearing scheduled for Wednesday at the U.S. District Courthouse in London. A trial date is pending the return of indictments by a federal grand jury. Delaney and Caudill were originally arrested in October of 2006; by UNITE detectives following the execution of search warrants on their homes in the Hardburley community of eastern Perry County. Each was initially charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, second or subsequent offense. Searches of the two homes uncovered a large quantity of oxycontin with a street value of close to $10,000.
