A cooperative investigation by Operation UNITE and the
McCreary County Sheriff¹s Office has resulted in 19 people being indicted for drug trafficking.

During the six-month investigation, officers from both departments were able
to purchase a variety of controlled or illegal substances including
OxyContin, Hydrocodone, Suboxone and marijuana.

build cases against individuals selling drugs in his community,² said Dan
Smoot, law enforcement director for UNITE.
