JEFFERSON COUNTY -- A Port Acres man has been arrested after authorities say he was the ring leader of a pill trafficking operation.

Investigators say the man sent a crew of 10 people to Houston to visit doctors, get prescriptions, have them filled at a Houston pharmacy, and return to Jefferson County to sell the narcotics.

The crooks are going to come up with a way, nor matter what. If you can't get pain pills here, Houston is the next best place.

I know people who make their living doing this. I have a four year degree and they bring in more money than me. It's infuriating!! They go to Houston and pay addicts in pills to go for them and turn over the rest of the pills. Until they crack down on the pill mills it will continue. This is aside from benefits they receive for being unemployed...
