DRUG BUST A WAKE-UP CALL

The numbers are staggering.

About 620 charges, more than 300 criminal complaints, nearly 160 defendants -- all part of the largest drug bust in Wood County history.  Arrests began Monday and are expected to continue for the next few weeks.

That's particularly eye-catching because the county typically has 500 criminal complaints in an entire year.  Authorities think this two-week arrest operation is going to net more than half that number.
