Police in McKean County say that drug problems are on the rise.

LSD, Marijuana, cocarine, oxycontin, morphine, and crack cocaine have all been purchased by undercover agents in the past year.

District Attorney John Pavlock, County Detective Jerry Okerlund, and the rest of the Drug Task Force says drug problems are becoming major issues in the county.

"I'd hate to throw around the word epidemic, but we're getting there," Pavlock told the Bradford Era.

Crack Cocaine is the biggest problem, according to Okerlund. He says it's being shipped in from Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo.

"It's an expensive habit," Okerlund told the Bradford Era. Crack Cocaine habits usually cost 100-400 dollars a day.


Okerlund says if you suspect drug dealing is happening in your neighborhood, you should contact their office, at 814-887-3232.
