Three people are facing drug charges after detectives seized $28,000 in powder cocaine in Ashland Thursday night.
Denise N. Carter, 28, and Laurel Vaughn, 36, both of Ashland, were charged with trafficking a controlled substance. Also arrested was Omar P. Henry, 35, of Covington. He was charged with possession of a controlled substance and tampering, according to a news release from the Boyd County Sheriff's Office.
