Multiple alleged drug dealers arrested

Updated: Fri 6:41 PM, Mar 23, 2012

Moving fast, and relying on the element of surprise is what Kentucky State Police strive for during these multiple arrest drug busts.

"Some people, we catch them by surprise, get those under arrest and in place quickly," said Trooper Don Trosper with Kentucky State Police.

Twenty alleged drug traffickers were arrested, eight of them coming from the Corbin Manor apartment complex.

"Unfortunately, when we do one of these details like this, it usually includes this apartment complex," said Trosper.

"Until they decide they're going to do it on their own, for themselves and their families, we have to keep dealing with them. It's an addiction. A lot of them have a hard time breaking that addiction. And so that leads us back to them again and again," Trosper added.

And it's that continued effort that Trooper Trosper says will make a difference.
And they won't stop until the problem is out of their county for good.
