CATLETTSBURG While certainly Dr. Seuss didnât have Jack Sparks in mind when he wrote âOh the Places Youâll Go,â the message certainly tracks for the DEA agentâs long and well-traveled career.
Born in Boyd, Sparks put himself through college at then-Ashland Community College and Marshall University before becoming a patrolman for the Raceland Police Department back in 1989. In the 1990s, he worked as a detective for the Fivco Area Drug Enforcement Task Force, where he sank his teeth into narcotics work.
Sparks put in for a position at the DEA in 1994 â two years later, he found himself with a federal badge working drug cases in Miami, Florida. From there, Sparks went around the globe doing his part to stamp out the scourge of drugs â Texas, Afghanistan, Iraq, Cyprus and Washington, D.C., to name a few.
