Operation UNITE Conducts Magoffin County Bust
KENTUCKY....
Following a 10-month investigation, Operation UNITE conducted a drug roundup Monday in Magoffin County, while targeting more than a dozen suspected drug dealers suspected of transporting or reselling prescription pills from Florida. Most of the cases involved Roxicodone, a form of Oxycodone. UNITE law enforcement director Dan Smoot says some of those arrested were going to Florida three and four times a month and would receive an average of 600 pills at a time. On Monday, nine of the 15 suspects were arrested and charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance...all from Salyersville.
