That task force and KSP do so little that the sheriff let them have it for some good pr.
I have one question…This investigation was led by the Barbourville PD, KSP, and Two Rivers Task Force…most of the “action” was taking place in Grays, which should fall under the Knox Co. Sheriff’s Office jurisdiction…so why wasn’t the Sheriff’s office involved in the investigation also?
Great Job by Kelley Farris investigating this one.

For those in denial, that believe kids pushing drugs to kids in schools is “big city” problem…WAKE UP!!! If you haven’t already, it’s time to talk to your kids about the danger of drugs. I have a 17 yr old at Corbin and this scares the wits out of me!!! I have talked to my kids about this…hope you will do the same. As for the “ring leaders”, these people do not deserve the air they breath. The last thing society needs is a new generation of drug pushers and users!!!
