Two men were arrested after a traffic stop led to a heroin bust
in Mingo County
Mingo County Sheriff James Smith said Franklin Derrick Maynard,
25, of Chapmanville, and Jason Hatfield, 42, of Hardy, Kentucky, were caught
Friday bringing heroin to the Williamson area.
Investigators said Maynard even sewed a pocket in his underwear
to hide it all.
The sheriff said he isn't surprised these two men took extra
effort in hiding heroin on their way to Mingo County
Deputies said Maynard sewed an extra pocket to hide 16 packets
of heroin, all worth $100 a piece.
In all, the sheriff said the drugs are worth about $1,600.
