According to WBOY, the Harrison County Sheriff's Department was awarded a $200,000 grant by the Department of Homeland Security to place license plate readers at the intersection I-79 and Rt. 50. The purpose behind the license plate readers? Well, local law enforcement said they want to send a special message to drug dealers.

 

"Don't come here if you don't want to get tracked," said Harrison County Sheriff Robert Matheny when referring to drug dealers.

 

Sheriff Matheny's message may be short its purpose is clear.

 

"Don't bring your drugs to Harrison County. Don't bring your drugs to Clarksburg, to Bridgeport to Shinnston, Salem, Anmoore...any of them..cause I want our reputation, the law enforcement here in Harrison County, I want the bad guys to know that this is not the place to come and sell your product," explained Matheny.
