DRUG TASK FORCE LIKES SNOW

The York County drug task force didn't take a snow day Friday.
Instead, agents used the record snow fall to their advantage. The task
force rounded up eight people on various drug charges Friday after
searching five houses. The snow turned out to be the agents' ally.

For one thing, suspects weren't expecting the task force to be
operating in weather that kept most area residents off the streets.
For another, the snow muffled sounds and helped obscure officers who
were keeping an eye on the houses. And, with all the suspects holed up
inside their respective houses, there was little chance to warn
friends that the task force was on the prowl.

Six of the arrests were drug related, while two others involved
outstanding warrants. Charges ranged from marijuana possession to
trafficking crack cocaine.

Well, the weather outside was frightful, but for some cops, at least,
the results of the bust were delightful. ... Let it snow, let it snow,
let it snow.
