Sheriff Stanforth had deputies set up a perimeter in the area and when the suspect was observed pulling into the pre-arranged drop-off point the Sheriff's STAR team moved into place and took the occupants into custody without incident.The sheriff's K-9 handler, Sgt. Jay Hicks, and his K-9 Kobe were on the scene as part of the Sheriff's STAR team. Kobe was taken around the car and indicated narcotics were present in the car. Subsequently, crack cocaine valued at over $45,000 was located and seized by deputies.
Arrested and charged with preparation of crack cocaine for sale was 47-year-old Gregory Walker of Dayton. The driver of the car, Samuel Heard, 23, was arrested at the scene for operating a vehicle under a license suspension. Both men are being held in the Fayette County Jail in lieu of bond.
