Sheriff says bust part of concerted effort to stem rising tide of drug use

Описание: To combat illegal drug activity in Marshall County, a special operation took place on Jan. 8 that resulted in three arrests in Moundsville.

Prior to that date, Marshall County Sheriff Mike Dougherty told NEWS9 that his office had heard about several overdoses within a 48- to 72-hour time span. Therefore, the drug task force came together to survey different locations and, eventually, they were able to track down three individuals -- Shane C. Knight, Robert D. Price, and Trista Porter.

During the search, officers seized 61 grams of fentanyl, and $2,781 at 1619 Diamond Street.
