An undercover investigation has led Coal Run Village Police to the home of a 65 year old couple, Gary and Billie Helen Spears, on Mossy Bottom Lane in Pike County, where police say they found a drug warehouse. Authorities say almost four thousand pills were seized, some of which were Velcroed underneath tables and hidden in various places throughout the home. Police say the Spears couple was operating on a barter system, taking cash from those who had it and trading drugs for stolen merchandise from as far away as Montana. Each is charged with drug trafficking and tampering with physical evidence.
