Man Charged With Otter Creek Drug Smuggling
KENTUCKY....
Larry Ellison, 25, of Somerset has been arrested in connection with a drug smuggling operation at the Otter Creek Correctional Center in Floyd County. He's charged with one count of 2nd degree trafficking in a controlled substance. Otter Creek Warden Randy Stovall contacted Operation UNITE’s Big Sandy office on December 7th, after corrections officials discovered 10 Suboxone strips concealed in a book addressed to one of the inmates. Payment for the drugs, estimated at $250 for the strips, was apparently made using the same method. Through an investigation, UNITE detectives identified Ellison as the sender. Ellison faces promoting contraband and another second-degree trafficking in a controlled substance charge when the case is presented to a Floyd County Grand Jury.
