Police Cracking Down on Drug Trafficking on I-65 | August 28, 2024 | News 19 at 5 p.m.
SUMMARY: The Priceville Police Department is intensifying its efforts to combat illegal drug trafficking, focusing on Interstate 65, a known hotspot for drug-related crime. Police Chief Jerry Home reports that their proactive measures have led to the seizure of over a million dollars worth of drugs and around $50,000 in cash in recent months. Multiple traffic stops have uncovered significant quantities of narcotics. Chief Home emphasizes that removing drugs like fentanyl from the interstate is crucial for safeguarding lives. This summer alone has seen more than a dozen arrests, despite the department’s limited manpower of just nine officers.
The Priceville Police Department (PPD) sits just off I-65 in Morgan County. With a birds-eye view of the interstate, it’s no surprise that the department is finding success in its efforts to combat drug trafficking.
