HAMILTON — The Butler County Sheriff’s Office showed off several classic cars this morning, June 30, that residents can buy, courtesy of area men convicted on drug charges.

This included four cars seized from Mark Henson, a convicted Hamilton drug dealer: a candy apple red 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS; a canary yellow 1969 Chevrolet Camaro; a 1970 Chevette SS, black with white racing stripes; and a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado truck.

Convicted former University of Cincinnati and NBA basketball star Corie Blount gave up a 2004 Cadillac Escalade when convicted of drug charges.

These cars are all on auction through July 19 on the Web site www.govdeals.com. The proceeds will go toward the newly formed B.U.R.N. Task Force (Butler County Undercover Regional Narcotics).

“We appreciate any help the drug dealers can give us,” said Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones, when showing off the cars to media this morning.
