Wayne County Drug Roundup



WAYNE COUNTY, W.Va. -- Wayne County Sheriff's deputies spent the day Tuesday going door-to-door for a drug roundup.

The roundup targeted heroine users.

That drug put 22 people in handcuffs Tuesday, which came as a surprise to neighbors.

State police aided deputies in the roundup. Officers collected heroin, as well as pills and guns, and they say Wayne County is part of a bigger picture of drug abuse.

The roundup is the result of a three month investigation. Deputies say roundups like this protect kids in the county.

Just a few of the charges they will face are possession of an illegal substance, drug trafficking and conspiracy.
