KENTUCKY....
Pike County officials say numerous people come to court while either intoxicated or in possession of illegal drugs or both. At least six people have been transported to the hospital for possible overdoses over the past two months, and deputies are seizing more than 1,000 pills a year. Tuesday, officers noticed a bag containing more than 50 pills and pill pieces sticking out of the jacket pocket of 31 year old Kyle Ratliff who was getting a drug test at the Hall of Justice. Ratliff was taken to the hospital for a possible overdose, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Thursday, 33 year old Stephanie Adkins was falling asleep while sitting outside the Hall of Justice with a sign announcing her conviction for theft. Officers arrested her for public intoxication, disorderly conduct and various drug charges after finding pills and marijuana in her purse.
