Laurel County Sheriff John Root arrested a Corbin man on drug trafficking charges after a tip prompted a drug investigation at a north Corbin motel room and local residence early Tuesday morning.
Charles Ray Salmon, 55, was charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance second offense (methamphetamine), trafficking in a controlled substance first offense (heroin), two counts of third-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia, stated a press release from the Laurel Sheriff’s Office.
During the execution of a search warrant at the motel, investigators found a total of 360 grams of methamphetamine, along with heroin, Xanax, gabapentin, marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a large amount of money, stated the release.
MORE than 300 care staff working with disabled adults across the three counties, including in Hereford, have been threatened with the sack by their employer, a union has said. The frontline staff who work across Herefordshire, Worcester and Gloucestershire have been told they could be out of a job by Christmas unless they agree to substantial changes to their contracts, UNISON said. It added Aspire Living, a charity providing care services to local councils, wants to cut the annual leave, sick pay, and overtime of its workforce, which would see low-paid care staff losing out financially. It s claimed the new contract Aspire wants to impose on its staff also contains a clause allowing the employer to lower pension provision should it wish in the future.
