Lanesville man arrested on 30 counts of prescription drug charges
James P. Kost, 52, of Geswein Road in Lanesville, was arrested Tuesday at his residence on a warrant issued out of Floyd County Superior Court for prescription drug related charges.
The Indiana State Police began an investigation in late October of 2008, after receiving information from an Ohio probation officer about suspected fraudulent prescription drug activity in Floyd County by Kost.

It was discovered that Kost had allegedly been engaged in this activity since 2007.
Kost was incarcerated in the Floyd County Jail on a $75,000 cash bond. He was officially charged with forgery, class C felony, [10 counts], obtaining a controlled substance by fraud or deceit, class D felony, [10 counts], and possession of a controlled substance, class D felony, [10 counts].
