The war on drugs has turned into a turf battle of sorts between a sheriff and prosecutor in Greenbrier County, West Virginia.
50 thousand dollars worth of equipment to seek out drugs is sitting unused at the county jail, while the prosecutor and sheriff argue over who should use it.
The equipment was purchased with property forfeitures in criminal cases. West Virginia's Attorney General may have to decide who controls it.
