  Harlan Police Department Blog - Busy Day!
Busy Day!  
We had a busy day at HPD. On 4-27-10, Officer George Young lead an investigation that lead to a search warrant being served. During the search warrant, 2 Baxter men were arrested. Emory Green Jr, 37 was charged with Illegal Sale of Alcohol in a Dry Territory, Resisting Arrest and other charges. Emory Green Sr, 62 was also arrested on Disorderly Conduct and Resisting. The case is still under investigation and more charges are pending.

HPD then received a complaint that someone in a black Hummer were going around local businesses buying Sudafed. They were stopped on the bypass by Sgt Mike Boggs and Officer Craig Miller. The traffic stop lead to 3 people from Leslie County being arrested. Eric Caudill, 25 of Hyden was charged with DUI, Possession of Meth Precursor, and other traffic charges. Joshua Lyons, 29 of Hyden was charged with Possession of Meth Precursor. Brittany Collet, 21 of Essie was also charged with Possession of Meth Precursor and other drug related charges. All 3 admitted that they were buying the Sudafed to trade for other illegal drugs or to resale for the production of Meth. HPD was assisted by HCSO deputies at both scenes and Harlan Animal Control Officer Duncan Caldwell assisted on the traffic stop because one of the suspects had their pet with them.
