Kentucky Police Seize 55 Pounds of Gift-Wrapped Meth

On Tuesday, Jeffersontown Police seized drugs disguised as Christmas presents during a narcotics investigation in Jeffersontown, Kentucky, and arrested a 23-year-old man.
The suspect told police he was traveling from Iowa and planned to sell the drugs, while authorities intercepted the packages during a coordinated narcotics investigation involving partner agencies.
Officers say the suspect arrived and tried to walk away, and a search of his truck uncovered concealed packages.
The man was arrested and charged with trafficking in a controlled substance, and Chief Richard Sanders, Jeffersontown Police chief, said `No amount of festive wrapping can disguise the harm these drugs inflict on families and communities.`
The coordinated operation ensured the holiday-wrapped packages never reached the streets, removing a supply intended for distribution during the holiday period and reducing local risk.
