YORK â In the last three years, the York County Sheriffâs Department has seized $1.45 million in drug buy money during traffic stops on Interstate 80. It is decided on the federal level if it is indeed drug buy money â and if it is, a portion of that money is returned back to the countyâs drug fund to be used for equipment, vehicles, positions, etc., to fight the war against drug trafficking.
Now, some of that money will be used to create a new deputy position for the sheriffâs department.
York County Sheriff Paul Vrbka and Captain Josh Gillespie addressed the York County Commissioners this week to explain what they want to achieve.
