Drug-related crimes kept Pulaski County Sheriff’s Deputies busy this past weekend, according to Sheriff Jeff Richwine. “They served some search warrants, found a pretty big meth house,” he told the county commissioners Monday. “There were like 13 what they call one-pot labs in there. It took the State Police drug team almost seven hours to clean that mess up, and they arrested one or two people out of that. And then they got another person up at Monterey that was definitely selling meth.”
Richwine said that second arrest was made possible by a piece of technology. “I know you guys were instrumental in us getting that machine that we can download the information off of phones, and this phone we got out of Monterey, I mean, you don’t even have to be an expert. You can read that phone and figure out what these people are doing. They’re selling drugs. So that stuff’s worked very well. I want to thank you for that machine.” He said the Prosecutor’s Office also covered half the cost.
