Cinci '11

COVINGTON - Ten people from four different states in town for a Phish concert were arrested early Monday when Covington police found drugs in their hotel room.

The people, ranging in age from 22 to 32, were discovered in the Radisson Hotel in Covington during a shoplifting investigation, said Covington Police spokesman Spike Jones.

The incident began about 3:50 a.m. when the Speedway Gas Station at 4th and Philadelphia streets reported a girl had tried to buy beer after selling hours, then shoplifted the beer.

The clerk told the woman she could not buy the beer, then he saw her put several Milwaukee's Best Ice beers in her purse. The clerk also noticed she had a Radisson hotel key card in her hand, Jones said.

When police went to the hotel, they found 10 people in the room. Wood ran to the balcony when officers arrived and threw drugs off the balcony, he said. Officers found multiple bags of marijuana and various other unidentified drugs in the room. Because of the quantity of drugs, all those present were charged.

  1. Why was this posted on August 30th?

    This article was posted unlawfully by the local media in Cincinatti. Not even half of these drug existed in that hotel room. Ketamine was found in that room and called cocaine and Heroin. As soon as lab test results were done not only were the charges dropped, but the media pulled any remains of this article immediately because it was total slandering.

    I am one of the people in that article and I was only charged because the hotel room was in my name. I didnt even have any drugs on me. Charges were dropped against me and we are currently going after Kenton County.

    So instead of slandering innocent people please take down this article. I just lost a job today because if you google my name this comes up and only this pertaining to these charges.

  2. These charges were untrue. When the truth come out in court the original article was taken down. But for some reason you reposted it instead of linking it. For the last 3 years this article alone has solely effected my life in terrible ways. I cannot pass a background check. Not because of my record (which is clean) but solely because of this article. When they google my name it shows things like heroin possession when that NEVER HAPPENED. Please remove this.
