Sheriff offers drug dealers help with 'competition'

FRANKLIN, Ky., Aug. 4 (UPI) -- A Kentucky sheriff's office is circulating a flyer online offering drug dealers "a free service to help you eliminate your drug competition!"

The Franklin County Sheriff's Office posted a flyer to its Facebook page with a form asking drug dealers to fill it out with information about their "competition."

"Attention Drug Dealers: Is your Drug Dealing Competition Costing You Money? We offer a free service to help you eliminate your drug competition!" the flyer reads.

Sheriff Pat Melton said the flyer was inspired by a similar post from a police department in Georgia.

"We've got our community engaged," Melton told WKYT-TV. "People are looking at it. They're talking about it. And you know, if we can get a good tip and get a good drug dealer off the streets, all the more."
