VINCENNES, Ind. - While meth, cocaine, heroin, pills and other assorted nasty substances are proliferating in Lawrence County, across the river in Knox County, Indiana, the cops and courts have apparently had a bellyful and took steps to rectify the problem.
Making a play on the name of the repulsive holiday "celebrated" today, law enforcement in Vincennes, Knox, Indiana State Police and even the FBI participated in "Operation HalloCLEAN," apparently in an effort to clean up the county of many of the above-named drugs, which flourish in the southwestern part of the state like bedbugs in a seedy motel.
Problem is, they didn't go far enough into Lawrence County across the river (where the REAL bedbugs are), and where dope REALLY flourishes.
The Indiana peeps were able to nab a few of Lawrenceville alleged meth-slingers, but that's all the dent they put in Lawrence County's problem. The rest were largely from various locations in Knox County, mostly Vincennes and Bicknell. There were a couple of out-of-staters, too, both from Florida...and one lone guy from Olney, which is about as far into Illinois as the whole mess reached (other than the chick sitting in prison in Decatur).
Here are the names, ages, town of residence and charges that got them hemmed up; 74 of these were booked; the additional 11 were issued summonses to appear in court. The gallery shows only four dozen of those booked; not sure why the entire 85 didn't get mugshot, but that's up to authorities.

To the Vinny authorities: If you need any help locating the Illinois peeps who are running dope over from the U.S. 50 corridor, feel free to contact us. We've been writing about them for years, and apparently the authorities over here have some kind of angst when it comes to actually picking them up and charging them appropriately.
