MCDOWELL, Ky. (WMDJ) — A McDowell man is facing multiple charges, including meth trafficking, following an incident during a traffic safety checkpoint in Floyd County.

According to court documents, Floyd County Sheriff’s deputies were conducting a checkpoint May 4 in McDowell when a red passenger car allegedly turned quickly onto Magnolia Street without using a signal.

Investigators say deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver fled on foot into a nearby thicket after stopping.

Authorities say a K9 alerted to suspected narcotics inside the vehicle. Deputies reportedly found three baggies containing a crystal-like substance believed to be methamphetamine, along with identification belonging to 29-year-old Dalton Boone Frasure of Ky. 680.

Court records state Frasure was already wanted on an active arrest warrant.

Investigators say a K9 tracked the suspect for several hundred yards before deputies went to Frasure’s last known residence. According to the citation, a relative allowed deputies inside, where Frasure was found lying on a bed.

Frasure was lodged in the Floyd County Detention Center on charges including first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, second-degree fleeing or evading police on foot and traffic violations.
