Drug Arrests in Pike County



Six people are facing charges after thousands of dollars worth of pills were found in a home.

The Pike County Sheriff's Office say their office and the Pike County Probation and Parole Office received a tip about drug activity at a home in Shelby Gap, which is in Pike County.

When they searched the home, they found 412 Roxicodone pills, with a street value of about $20,000, 200 Xanax pills, and $2,000 in cash.

Deputies say the homeowner, Marvin Collins, was arrested and charged with first-degree trafficking.

James Arnett and Sam Webb, both of Letcher County, Perry Johnson of Pike County, and Joseph Scott and Roxanna Millwood, both of Michigan, also were arrested and charged with trafficking.

Deputies say Scott and Millwood were bringing drugs from Michigan into Kentucky to sell.

More charges and arrests are pending.
