'Lexington is not immune to having drug sales take place,' says Police Chief Mark Corr.
In a span of just a little more than 48 hours, Lexington Police arrested four individuals on drug related charges in three separate incidents this week. According to police reports, marijuana was the drug of choice in two of the three situations, but the third involved the alleged sale of heroin and cocaine within a school zone.
