KSP: Operation Summer Heat results in 36 area arrests From Captain Paul Blanton Frankfort, KY - On July 11, 2024, Gov. Andy Beshear announced the successful launch of a statewide drug operation by the Kentucky State Police following a three-month investigation into suspected drug trafficking rings. All 16 posts participated in Operation Summer Heat, and preliminary results indicate: 206 arrests and 490 charges issued (36 arrests at Post 15 in Columbia); and combined seizure of 554 grams of fentanyl, 219 grams of cocaine, 4,862 grams of methamphetamine, 41 grams of heroin, 40 grams of spice, 2,931 fentanyl pills, 50 hydrocodone pills, 64 oxycodone pills, 90 hallucinogens and 14 firearms. The street value of the illicit drugs seized is approximately $684,953.50. Additionally, $37,159 in cash, $10,000 in stolen tools and one stolen vehicle were recovered during the operation. The operation remains ongoing, and additional arrests will be made. "We have seen drug overdose deaths decline over the past two years and decreases in many of our serious crime rates - these results are in part thanks to the work our Kentucky State Police," said Gov. Beshear. "We are grateful for their continued commitment to help us build a better, safer Kentucky for all our families." "This operation is a testament to the hard work of our detectives and post-level personnel, who are dedicated to keeping Kentuckians safe from the dangers of illegal drugs," said KSP Commissioner Phillip Burnett Jr. "This was an opportunity to remove deadly narcotics from our local communities and the money that drives this criminal activity." Initial arrests by state police post:
Commissioner Burnett stated that anyone with illegal drug activity information is encouraged to contact one of KSP's 16 posts. Citizens may also report tips confidentially through the KSP website tip form. This story was posted on 2024-07-12 10:08:42
