Three people were arrested at Corbin Manor Apartments Friday afternoon on drug-related charges.

Ralph G. Stacy, 51, of Corbin, Tiffany Denise Gray, 37, of Williamsburg, and Jennifer Lynn Collier, 46, of London were each arrested after Laurel County Sheriff’s deputies located assorted drug paraphernalia.

“While conducting the investigation and checking for warrants on the individuals there, the male subject (Stacy) began yelling and cursing and creating a disturbance there,” Acciardo stated. “While trying to diffuse the situation, the male subject struggled with Sgt. Berry, and following a brief scuffle was taken into custody.”

Acciardo stated that deputies recovered the paraphernalia from each of the individuals.
