was david sizemore who is now doing federal time in west virgina. court documents show confidential informants bought 15 pills--disguised as percocets but were infact heroin. when they raided the home, they found almost 300 pills with 59 being laced with heroin. so far this is the only bust of this type known in northen kentucky. but it doesn't stop there. a quick google search shows busts in massachusetts, new jersey, and florida. so you don't know how much heroin or percocet is going in per pill. so i think that the antidote here is for disaster. it sneaks in like a thief in the night this woman's three kids all hooked on this drug has taken the heart hasn't friends in indiana but their worried. all of them would rather take a pill and that is why we are seeing these creep into the markets we talked with the herion task force. they tell us there any cases in cincinnati but they are aware of the problem. live in xxx michael baldwin fox 19 now.
