Three men have been arrested and charged with trafficking a controlled substance in Boyd County, Kentucky.
Joshua Riffe had been contacted to deliver some pills to Roberts Drive by an informant of the Boyd County Sheriff's Department.
When he arrived to make the sale, deputies placed Riffe under arrest.
They were then giving consent to search the apartment on Roberts Drive, where they found a large amount of narcotics.
Cell phones with details of other transactions by Riffe, Artis Jenkins, and Percy Hutchinson were also found at the residence.
Jenkins and Hutchinson were also taken into custody by the deputies.
The deputies found bus tickets with the destination being Detroit.
That's where they believe the drugs are coming from.
More arrests are pending.
