Wickliffe couple charged with crack cocaine trafficking

A Wickliffe couple has been arrested on crack cocaine trafficking following a two-month long investigation.

According to Wickliffe Police, the investigation began after multiple complaints from citizens, including surveillance by patrol officers and detectives as well as multiple confidential sources.
