A Parkersburg man is behind bars accused of dealing dangerous drugs.

The investigation started on June 28th when the Major Crimes Unit along with the Parkersburg Narcotics Task Force searched the 14th Street home of 21-year-old Kendall Ray and confiscated drugs and cash.

The investigation since has lead to the arrest of Ray, who is charged with delivery of cocaine and posession with the intent to deliver marijuana.

Both charges carry a potential 1-15 year jail sentence.

Ray's home is located near Parkersburg South High School. Police Chief Gerald Board says this arrest will remove the distribution of a significant amount of drugs from the streets.

The investigation is ongoing and more arrests are possible.

Well for one they didnt say he was the main distributer, he just a deals a significant amount. You're right though there are plenty more dealers out there that will get caught soon. Way to go PNTF!

Well it's definatly not wrong considering most the drugs on southside is weed. I think its great that everybody knows that one less cocaine dealer is off southside. He is one of the reasons for the drugs on southside.

I really dont think that its right for the news to sit there and make it look like he was the reason for the drugs on southside...because there are plenty of other people on south-side who are drug dealers
