Major Interstate Pill Smuggling Sting In Eastern Ky.
Beginning before 7:00 A.M. Wednesday (today), every state police post in eastern Kentucky began a major roundup of suspected drug dealers accused of interstate pill smuggling. The sting, which charged 500 people, and, by late afternoon, netted an estimated 200 arrests in a dozen counties, is thought to be the largest in the state's history. Most are thought to be street-level dealers who will be charged in state courts, but some will face federal prosecution. Pike County Commonwealth's Attorney Rick Bartley says, while Florida is not the only source of pills coming into the state, it is a key source...a "tsunami" of pills into eastern Kentucky.
