Pike County Drug Arrest
KENTUCKY...
Hundreds of prescription pills, cash and a rifle were confiscated following the execution of a search warrant in the Shelbiana community. Operation UNITE charged 47-year-old Patricia Hopkins with several charges of trafficking in a controlled substance. The arrest followed an investigation that began earlier this month after information was passed along from other agencies that an unusually high volume of cars were reported to be coming to and from the residence. Hopkins is believed to have been selling drugs in the community for about two years. During the investigation detectives were able to purchase drugs from Hopkins and developed enough information to obtain the search warrant. There were 10 varieties of drugs including OxyContin, Hydrocodone, Methadone, Lortab, Xanax, Percocet and Suboxone. Hopkins was lodged in the Pike County Detention Center.
