CLASSIC CARS FOR SALE, COURTESY OF DRUG DEALERS
HAMILTON - The Butler County Sheriff's Office showed off several
classic cars this morning, June 30, that residents can buy, courtesy
of area men convicted on drug charges.
This included four cars seized from Mark Henson, a convicted Hamilton
drug dealer: a candy apple red 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS; a canary
yellow 1969 Chevrolet Camaro; a 1970 Chevette SS, black with white
racing stripes; and a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado truck.
Convicted former University of Cincinnati and NBA basketball star
Corie Blount gave up a 2004 Cadillac Escalade when convicted of drug
charges.
These cars are all on auction through July 19 on the Web site
www.govdeals.com. The proceeds will go toward the newly formed
B.U.R.N. Task Force (Butler County Undercover Regional Narcotics).
"We appreciate any help the drug dealers can give us," said Butler
County Sheriff Richard K. Jones, when showing off the cars to media
this morning.
