Laurel County, KY - Sheriff John Root is reporting that Detective James Sizemore and Deputy John Inman arrested three individuals at the Laurel County judicial center complex in London on Tuesday afternoon, May 10, 2016, at approximately 12:01 PM.

A female subject - Marcia Drury - allegedly hid Suboxone strips in her undergarments while entering the judicial center where she was expected to receive jail time on an unrelated case.
