Owner of Ashland novelties store indicted
CATLETTSBURG, Ky. -- The owner/operator of Dark Wings, an Ashland store that Ashland police say sold synthetic drugs, was among people indicted Monday by a Boyd County grand jury, according to the office of Commonwealth's Attorney David Justice.
Yvonda Nichols, 55, of Greenup, Ky., was indicted on a felony charge of use and investment of drug-related income. The charge is a class D felony with a potential sentence upon conviction of from one to five years in prison, Justice said.
Ashland police two weeks ago confiscated about $30,000 worth of materials from the business at 514 29th St., Ashland. They believe an estimated $13,000 worth of those materials are synthetic drugs. Police also confiscated $3,500 and a handgun with a loaded, 19-round magazine.
