Salyersville, KY (WMDJ) — A Floyd County man is facing several charges after deputies say they found methamphetamine during a late-night call in Magoffin County.
The Magoffin County Sheriff’s Office reports that 44-year-old Robert Lee Spradlin of Auxier, was arrested around 12:30 a.m. Sunday in Salyersville. Deputies were responding to a report of a possible overdose when they found Spradlin walking along a gravel driveway carrying a flashlight.
A man at the scene told deputies that Spradlin and a woman had entered his home without permission and stolen items, including the flashlight. Deputies said Spradlin became combative and had to be forcibly removed from a vehicle.
During the arrest, a box reportedly fell from his possession containing about 4 grams of methamphetamine, along with marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Spradlin was lodged in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center and charged with first-degree trafficking in methamphetamine (2 grams or more, first offense), resisting arrest, menacing, and tampering with physical evidence
