KENTUCKY — Louisville Metro Police arrested three people following a months-long investigation into what officials described as a “significant narcotics organization” operating in the Park Hill neighborhood.
According to LMPD, the drug bust took place at a Park Hill housing complex after extensive investigative work.
Police said they recovered three guns — including one that had been reported stolen — as well as multiple types of drugs. Three individuals were arrested and five others were cited.
Those arrested or cited include: Demetrius Cole, 39; Chris Moore, 34; Ricky Demus, 48; Siobhan Smith, 42; Glen Sydnor, 52; Jerricka Majot, 19; Demonte Parrish, 27; and D’Eric Burns, 26. LMPD said Cole and Smith were formally charged on Nov. 17 and that a third arrested individual has not yet been identified.
Cole is charged with engaging in organized crime and trafficking methamphetamine, marijuana and cocaine. Police said some of the marijuana seized tested positive for methamphetamine.
Smith is charged with engaging in organized crime, tampering with physical evidence and trafficking methamphetamine and marijuana. Court documents allege she removed a bag from a vehicle in an attempt to conceal evidence.
In a statement, LMPD said removing “dangerous drugs, firearms and vehicles tied to criminal activity” is a key part of its Crime Reduction Strategic Plan and its efforts to strengthen trust in Park Hill, one of the department’s Sustained Focus Improvement areas.
