BOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) -- Three people were busted for trafficking prescription drugs over the holiday weekend.

The Boyd County Sheriff's Department charged Tomas Sanchez with trafficking a controlled substance after deputies found Oxycodone and Xanax pills in his apartment Saturday. They also found appointment cards from pain clinics in Florida.

Cathy and Ronnie Howard have also been charged with trafficking a controlled substance. Deputies say the two were pulled over in Boyd County Friday night and were found with cash and pills.

This is Cathy's second charge of drug trafficking in the past month and Ronnie's second charge in two months.

the reason that they don't keep them in jail because a few of the judges use drugs themselves. so how can they put them behind bars. Have a traffic violition and have to pay out the hiny for it, but sale drugs and get are kids addicited. I wish you all was locked up some were far away.
