FOREST HILLS, Ky. — A Pike County man spent part of his holiday in jail following a traffic stop that led to multiple drug-related charges.

Kentucky State Police say a trooper stopped a pickup truck just before midnight Tuesday on Forest Hills Road after noticing a defective tail light and an improperly secured ATV in the truck bed. The vehicle pulled over in front of a residence the trooper recognized as a known location for drug activity.

The driver, identified as 25-year-old Austin Cecil of Sidney, was questioned at the scene. Police say the trooper noticed digital scales on the dashboard and a piece of aluminum foil with a burn mark inside the vehicle. Cecil was ordered out of the truck, where the trooper reported observing signs of impairment.

During the encounter, officers say a bag of suspected methamphetamine was found in the seat where Cecil had been sitting. The trooper also noticed a bulge in Cecil’s underwear. According to police, Cecil attempted to explain it as body hair, but it was later determined to be a bag containing fentanyl.

Cecil was arrested and charged with enhanced trafficking in methamphetamine and fentanyl, possession of drug paraphernalia, DUI, and additional offenses.

He remains lodged in the Pike County Dentention Center and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday.
