Police got a call from a concerned citizen about 18-year-old Jared Turner selling marijuana and pills to students at PTHS. An undercover officer reportedly made arrangements Friday via text message – while Turner was in school – to buy drugs from him. Turner’s twin brother Blake then allegedly contacted the officer and offered to sell him marijuana.
Police said that after school, the teens arrived in separate vehicles to meet the officer in the parking lot of a business across Jackson Street from the school. Jared Turner allegedly sold the officer a Xanax pill and drove away. He was stopped and arrested a short time later. Police said they found four Lortab pills on him during a search. Police said Blake Turner sold a detective about 1½ grams of marijuana, and was arrested immediately.
Both suspects were booked into McCracken County Regional Jail.
