ASHLAND -- Four people were arrested in Ashland on Friday after Kentucky State Police discovered a package containing marijuana was being shipped to them.
Ervin T. Woods, 46, Kenneth D. Woods, 45, Curtis A. Maynard, 32, and Ashley D. Leake, 28, all of Ashland, each were charged with trafficking in marijuana, Trooper Michael Murriell said in a press release.
Troopers received information Friday that a package containing 11 lbs. of marijuana was being shipped to a residence in the 800 block of Batch Avenue, and they made a controlled delivery of the package to the residence.
