KENOVA, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Kenova police have arrested a man they say has been trafficking drugs from Detroit to North Carolina.
David Adkins was arrested and charged with seven counts of possession with intent to deliver.
Kenova police have been watching the house on Walnut Street for more than two years.
Police served a search warrant on Friday night and found several different drugs inside the house including oxycotin, methadone, and adderall along with guns and over three thousand dollars in cash.
Police tell us the drug ring went through Kenova to North Carolina and Detroit. Police say they also found records inside the home that they say prove that Adkins has been selling drugs for two years.
Adkins is being held in the Western Regional Jail.

Job well done. This scum was a total blight on society.
I feel sad to think that our hometown is getting corrupted with drugs. I grew up in Kenova and have always felt that it was like Mayberry. Times change I guess. When I was a kid you didn't even have to lock your doors at night - boy, that has changed. I hope that the drug abusers and sellers change their lives and figure out that this is not a good way to live their lives. It will only bring sorrow on them and their families.
I can betcha that MOST families have a family member that is over using medications.If they are then it goes from being a medication user to a drug user. Let's be careful about judging others. However,I am thrilled that one more drug abuser is off of the streets.I appreciate KPD on their hard work!GOOD JOB!Please look at other areas such as (Barger Hill)!!I do feel sorry for David Adkins family and for him as well. I hope that he gets his life straightened out & realizes that selling drugs is not a career choice.I work for a Pharmacy and have worked for many physicians in the past and I know for a fact that medications are NEEDED for illnesses, they do not need to be misused-this is where it falls under a drug abuser. It is not the medications that are the problem-it is the person using them and misusing them that is the issue. Hunt. and Fort Gay areas are probably worse than Kenova, however Kenova can get in the same shape if KPD is not watching closely. Let's pray for our entire town!
