News

April 12th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

A four-month long investigation in Harlan has resulted in one person being arrested on several drug-related charges. According to the Harlan Police Department, 18-year old Duy Quang Vo, of Harlan, was taken into custody Tuesday, on three counts of delivery of a controlled substance/marijuana. 

Vo will face enhanced penalties for those charges, since the acts allegedly occurred within 1000-feet of a school or recreational area. Vo was also charged with one count of distribution to a person under age 18, and one count of ongoing criminal conduct.

The teen was transported to the Shelby County Jail where he was being held on $100,000 bond.
