KENTUCKY....
Prestonsburg Police officers hit the streets this week rounding up suspected drug dealers after a six month undercover investigation...netting nearly a dozen arrests. Detective Trint Combs was hired one year ago to lead the new Prestonsburg narcotics initiative. Since then he has opened 55 cases and seized 29-thousand dollars and lots of drugs, from pills to marijuana, cocaine, and even heroin. Detective Combs says the ultimate goal of the police department and the initiative is to make the neighborhoods safer. Combs says, "If you're in Prestonsburg and you're selling narcotics, eventually it's going to come around and we're going to find out about it and we're going to do something about it. We're going to put you in jail.” Prestonsburg Police are getting a K-9 dog soon to help investigate drug cases.
