Private Detective: Drug Bust in Rockcastle Co.

A death investigation in Rockcastle County led to a drug investigation and arrest.

On Monday, KSP Detectives assisted the Mount Vernon Police Department on a death investigation that was being conducted at the Econo-Lodge Hotel.

The Coroner states that a body was found, but it appeared the victim died of natural causes. Upon further investigation, detectives obtained two separate search warrants for two residences.

That search warrant yielded ½ ounces of suspected marijuana, 281 suspected Oxycodone pills, 341 suspected Xanax pills and two suspected Suboxone strips. In addition Troopers siezed $13,180.00 in US currency, 10 long-guns, 4 hand-guns, a 1974 Chevrolet Corvette, a 2013 Nissan Altima and a 2003 Honda Motorcycle.

The second search warrant was for a safety deposit box at the Peoples Bank of Mount Vernon. That search resulted in the seizure of $10,000.00 in US currency.
