By Drew Adams

Murray, KY – Law enforcement officers arrested a Chicago man in Paducah over the weekend for trafficking cocaine in the region. Martin Acosta was arrested while attempting to sell over ten ounces of cocaine, with a street value of over $10,000. The investigation determined Acosta brought the large amount of cocaine across at least three state lines. The arrest was made possible after a two month investigation by the Kentucky State Police, Pennyrile Narcotics Taskforce and McCracken County Sheriff's Department. Acosta is being held in the McCracken County jail awaiting federal charges.
