"DODGE CITY - Two Ford County residents are behind bars on drug charges stemming from an undercover sting operation, Dodge City police said Thursday.
Authorities on Wednesday arrested a 44-year-old man - Carlos Romero, according to the Ford County Jail log - on charges of selling cocaine, methamphetamines and marijuana. An 18-year-old woman - Brandy Murray, according to the jail log - was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia.
The arrests culminated a two-week undercover operation carried out by the Dodge City/Ford County Narcotics Enforcement Team, which is made up of Dodge City police and the Ford County Sheriff's Department.
Agents allegedly bought the drugs from Romero on several occasions at his home in the Green Acres trailer park development on the southeastern outskirts of Dodge City, which he shared with Murray.
The suspects were scheduled to make their first appearance in Ford County District Court on Thursday."
Honest to God. What's up with the Glob? This was in today's Hutch News. When is/was the Glob going to print it? I have two problems with this story, aside from it not coming from the Globe. The first is that this 18-year-old girl is living with a 44-year-old man. Holy cow! What's up with that? The other is that it took a two-week undercover operation. If a copy buys once from a scum-bag, it ought to be enough. Just one time....not repeated times over 2 weeks. During that two weeks, he had the opportunity to sell to a number of citizens, some of them probably under 18.
