On Friday the Kentucky State Police (KSP) conducted a statewide drug round-up entitled “Operation Black Friday.” After months of extensive, covert investigations, arrest warrants were issued for individuals throughout the state of Kentucky. Every available sworn unit within the agency was put into action to arrest 479 individuals in what is the largest one-day drug round-up in agency history. All KSP Posts, the KSP Drug Enforcement Special Investigations (DESI) Branch, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division, along with assistance from local law enforcement, ATF, DEA and U.S. Marshal’s Service began arresting individuals before daybreak.
Post 2, which serves Webster County, made 13 arrests, one of which was in Webster County.
At approximately 7:30 a.m. Friday morning, KSP Post 2 units simultaneously executed the arrest warrants on individuals in Christian, Muhlenberg, Todd, and Webster Counties.
Kenneth Hopper, 55 of Clay, was among those arrested. He was charged with Trafficking in a Controlled Substance 2nd Degree.
