Five Arrested In Florida..Drugs
KENTUCKY...
Four people from eastern Kentucky are arrested and are being held in a Florida jail for allegedly trafficking prescription pills. Law enforcement officials found nearly one thousand OxyContin pills in their vehicle during a traffic stop. Officers from the Indian River County Sheriff's Department pulled over a white Nissan SUV expecting to write a ticket for a busted headlight. Instead, they found a lot more.
Jeremy Combs of Leeburn, Larry Gayheart of Hindman, Kenneth Kunkle of Littcarr, Shelia Slone of Hazard, and Luverina Tucker of Lexington were all traveling in the same vehicle on I-95 in Indian River County, Florida when they encountered a police checkpoint. In searching the vehicle, officers found nearly one thousand pills and a little more than eight grams of marijuana. All individuals are facing charges relating to unlawful possession of prescription medication, or OxyContin. The five individuals are still being held in the Indian River County Jail and have a combined cash bond of more than half a million dollars.
