After months of investigating and working undercover Lexington police have finally busted the Kroger Fuel Point Kingpin known as Pablo Prices. Prices has was apprehended and has been charged with trafficking on Richmond Road and Tates Creek as well as eight counts of possession of fuel points with intent to sell to a minor.

“I’m glad this dangerous criminal is off the streets,” said concerned parent Tammy LaFlour. “I’ll use fuel points from time to time but I’m old enough to know what I’m doing. These are just kids. I heard a Dateline report that said, now, dealers are lacing the Kroger Fuel Points with Speedy Rewards points. It’s scary stuff.”

“The Sting operation, at first, was just an acl scope but once we heard that the wrestler recovered nicely, we knew it was time to do some real police work,” said Chief of Police Clark Bartrand. “We got a couple of his low-level dealers at the high school and eventually they turned on him and we were able to locate Prices.” Police seized roughly $150,000 worth of fuel points from Prices’ residence. The points will be destroyed per judges orders.
