After an 18-month investigation, police made a huge drug bust in eastern Kentucky.

Police say they found more than a million dollars worth of prescription pain pills while serving search warrants in several homes in the Ashcamp community, southeast of Pikeville.

Investigators say they also found $80,000 in cash and some firearms.

We're told federal indictments are pending in this case.

WYMT Opinion

Do you think the Federal Government should recognize that marijuana and hemp are different varieties of the same plant?

Yes, they are different and hemp should be legal when states allow it
No, both plants are the same and should be illegal
Both should be legal if states allow it
