A pair of men arrested last week on what appeared to be unrelated charges turned out to have been picked up as a result of a joint operation between the Carter County Sheriff’s Department, the Grayson Police Department, and an unnamed “federal partner,” according to a release from the office of Carter County Sheriff Jeff May, for their role in attempting to distribute more than 10,000 individual doses of fentanyl.
The Carter County Times reported last week that 35 year old Anton Glynn-Miles, of Detroit, was arrested by the Carter County Sheriff’s Department on November 2 as a fugitive, with no warrant required. We also reported that 43 year old Craig Horton, of Grayson, was arrested by the sheriff’s department on the same evening, on two counts of contempt of court – libel/slander – resistance to order.
According to the release from the sheriff, the duo also has pending charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and aggravated trafficking in narcotics – more than 28 grams of fentanyl.
According to the release the “two men were arrested in Carter County as the result of an ongoing narcotic’s investigation,” by the three law enforcement agencies. Information the sheriff’s department received led to the search and recovery of the narcotics; thanks in large part, May explained, to the aid of the department’s K9 unit.
The 10,000 dosage units seized amounted to 1,080.5 grams, or more than a kilo, of drugs intercepted before they could be distributed to local communities, Sheriff Jeff May noted in the release from his office.
May said he wished to thank the citizens of Carter County for their help in combatting the scourge of drugs in our community. He encouraged anyone wishing to report illegal drug activity to reach out to his office at 606-474-5616, or to email them at: tip.line@cartercokysheriff.us.
