Breathitt County Drug Bust
KENTUCKY....
Operation UNITE and Kentucky State Police troopers conducted a drug roundup in Breathitt County Wednesday, arresting 13 individuals of the two dozen targeted. During an investigation that spanned six months, UNITE detectives along with officers from the Jackson Police Department purchased a variety of pills, primarily Percocet, OxyContin and Lortab. Dan Smoot, law enforcement director for UNITE, says one-third of those wanted in this latest roundup have previously been arrested by UNITE for drug trafficking. Through November, 816 calls were made to UNITE's drug tipline (1-866-424-4382) by Breathitt County residents.
