On 10-25-2004 at approximately 1700 hours the Kentucky State Police in Hazard along with the HIDTA task force and the Kentucky State Police K-9 unit executed a search warrant at the residence of Ricky Couch in the Brownsfork section of Perry County.

The officers located approximately 1 pound of processed marijuana, $1,200.00 in cash, a defaced firearm during the search. Also found at the location was approximately $50,00.00 worth of stolen property from Indiana and Illinois.
