| DRUG DEALER FACING CHARGES - Wyoming County authorities say they've confiscated 100 firearms, $570,000 in cash and hundreds of pills from the residence of an accused drug dealer.
Sheriff Randall Aliff says that officers found firearms and $570,000 inside a safe that was seized last week.
55-year-old Delbert Lester is charged with eight counts of delivery of a controlled substance. He's free on $200,000 bond.
Wyoming County is the subject of a film called "Oxylana," which reveals that well over 100 residents have more recently died from overdose, and portrays the southern WV area as "pillbilly heaven."
Wyoming County residents have objected to the film, saying it does not accurately portray the community.
