KENTUCKY...
At least nine Magoffin County residents have been arrested on suspicion of transporting or reselling prescription drugs from Florida. Fifteen people are targeted in the roundup conducted by Operation UNITE. They were indicted after a 10-month undercover investigation. UNITE law enforcement director Dan Smoot said most of the cases involve Roxicodone, a form of the narcotic painkiller Oxycodone. Arrested so far are Amanda Hurley, Jesse Moreno, Mikel Porter, Tommy Risner, Kenneth Rowe, Herbert Jerome Saylor, Tiffany Slusher and Jack Whitt, all of Salyersville, and Joshua Whitaker, of Royalton.
