RUSSELL The Tri-State Narcotics Task Force was at it again over the weekend, bringing five suspects into custody on various warrants, including drug distribution.
This is the second round of weekend busts, which have so far netted a quarter-pound of meth, smaller gram amounts of heroin, fentanyl and weed, $8,600 in cash, a vehicle and drug paraphernalia, according to DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jack Sparks.
So far, eight people have been caught up in the dragnet, Sparks said.
Spanning Boyd and Greenup counties, drug officers assigned with the detail seized a mess of meth baggies, scales and cash, according to a release issued early Sunday morning.
