Operation Pill Crusher Nets Twenty Four Mount Sterling Arrests
In a year long sting dubbed Operation Pill Crusher, Mount Sterling police say, as of Tuesday, they arrested twenty four alleged drug dealers within a week. They're accused of obtaining prescription drugs in Florida and returning them to Kentucky to sell. Police say there are cars, vans and airplane loads of people traveling to Florida because the state does not electronically monitor the number of narcotic prescriptions obtained from Florida physicians. Mount Sterling police say the problem is occurring all across Kentucky, and other law enforcement and officials agree. They say the Florida to Kentucky drug pipeline is increasing.
