A two-month investigation has led to sixteen suspects charged in a large Tri-State drug bust, according to the Ohio County Sheriff’s Office.
Detectives say they bought and took in more than 23 ounces of methamphetamine, a half-ounce of marijuana, an indoor and outdoor marijuana plant, an ounce of cocaine and a stolen vehicle.
Sixteen people were charged for various drug charges, including trafficking methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine, cultivating marijuana, drug paraphernalia, trafficking cocaine, theft of automobile, receiving stolen property, possession of marijuana, trafficking marijuana and promoting contraband.
Ohio County Sheriff Adam Wright said there are resources like the A.R.C.H. program, My Father’s House and others available to help those fighting a drug problem. Wright isn’t hoping to keep these people locked up forever, but rather wake them up to their drug issues.
Wright said hopefully this time next year these people will come up and say, ‘Thank you for what you did, you and your detectives and deputies. I’m clean and sober now.’
