An Eastern Kentucky sheriff calls it one of the biggest drug busts in the region's history.
A former Letcher County man admitted to transporting at least 130,000 OxyContin pills from Detroit to Knott, Letcher, Perry and Breathitt Counties over the last two and a half years making about $4 million dollars in the process.
Police arrested Joseph Hall, along with Teresa Sturgill of Steer Fork in Knott County, and her son, Michael Lumpkins.
The investigation included searches of some homes and the Route 80 Motel in Hindman and Letcher County Sheriff Danny Webb tells us it's not over yet.
A federal grand jury is expected to hear the case in the next few weeks.
