HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Four people were arrested on Wednesday following an investigation into alleged methamphetamine sales at a home in Earlington.
According to court documents, detectives with the Madisonville-Hopkins County Vice-Narcotics Unit utilized a confidential source to conduct a controlled purchase of crystal methamphetamine from James Youngblood, 52, at a home in the 300 block of Hopson Avenue in September. On Wednesday, authorities executed a search warrant at the home, and made contact with Kenneth Morris, 30, who reportedly ignored commands to exit the residence. Police made entry into the home and apprehended Youngblood and Morris.
During a search of the home, detectives say they located a bag containing crystal methamphetamine and synthetic cannabinoid hidden inside of a couch and methamphetamine on a plate near a television. They also reportedly found cocaine and a 12 gauge shotgun inside the room where Youngblood was found. Youngblood is a convicted felon and prohibited from possessing a firearm.
