Conservation officers from Nicholas, Fayette, Raleigh, Greenbrier, Wyoming and awha counties patrolled Summersville Lake with jet skis and a patrol boat. They netted several violators and issued citations for stream littering, reckless operation, boating under the influence, fishing without a license and marijuana possession. The effort yielded 15 drug related arrests, including three felonies, plus three vehicles seized and 9 grams of cocaine and 1 pound of marijuana seized. Additional units stopped a hit and run vehicle and arrested an Ohio man for DUI, driving suspended and possession with intent to deliver when a pound of marijuana was found.
