Floyd County Couple Charged After Drug Bust in Paintsville

Paintsville, KY (WMDJ) — Two Floyd County residents were arrested early Saturday after police discovered drugs inside a parked car where they and a child had been sleeping.

 

Authorities found the vehicle in a gas station parking lot around 2:30 a.m. Inside were 46-year-old Mindy Gail Robinson and 50-year-old Keith Jones, both of Prestonsburg, along with a juvenile, all reportedly asleep.

 

After the adults were awakened, Robinson was taken into custody for suspected DUI. Officers searched the car and located several bags of meth, marijuana concealed in a Coke can with a false bottom, digital scales, and plastic baggies.

 

Both Robinson and Jones were charged with trafficking in methamphetamine and marijuana, first-degree wanton endangerment, and possession of drug paraphernalia. They remain at the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Paintsville.

 

The child was released to a relative.
