Huntington, WV (HNN) – You’ve heard those often frustrating words from law enforcement which state limitations on information due to a pending investigation. Often, you may think, the statement is a delaying tactic. Not so.
After an investigation into a violent cocaine and heroin ring that spanned Huntington, Proctorville, and Chesapeake, multiple law enforcement agencies made three arrests and seized approximately 90 grams of heroin (value $100,000), ninety grams of crack cocaine (approximately $10,000), marijuana and about $6,500 in cash from a Holiday Court apartment in Proctorville, Ohio . Those arrested have been held on federal charges.
Two more suspects turned themselves in to law enforcement. Police are still searching for Kevin “KK” Robinson who is considered armed and dangerous. If you see him call 911, or (304) 781-8336.
Those arrested --- Brandon Fiske, Steven Hester, Leoditus Smith, Jason Belcher and Noah Flora --- face federal conspiracy to distribute charges.
The ring has houses in WV and Ohio. The drugs, officials stated, originated from Columbus, Ohio.
Agencies participating in the bust were Huntington Police Department, Lawrence County, Ohio Sheriff’s Department, ATF and DEA.
