More Than 30 Defendants Indicted on Prescription Pill Charges in Historic Drug Sweep
Date:10/29/2009

LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Attorney's Office announced today that 36 individuals face various federal prescription pill charges as part of the largest drug sweep operation in Kentucky's history.
