Pike County traffic stop leads to meth, fentanyl trafficking arrest

PIKE COUNTY, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Pike County traffic stop last week led to a drug trafficking arrest, Kentucky State Police say.

 

According to the arrest citation, troopers stopped 41-year-old Jennifer Little of Elkhorn City around 5:30 p.m. May 21 on U.S. 460 in the Millard area after allegedly clocking her at 54 mph in a 45 mph zone. The vehicle then pulled into the parking lot of the Millard Double Kwik.

 

Police say Little denied having anything illegal in the vehicle and refused consent for a search.

 

Troopers reported becoming suspicious because of what they described as nervous behavior and conflicting statements about where she had been.

 

Police began conducting field sobriety tests and told Little she was being detained while a K-9 unit was called to perform an exterior sniff of the vehicle.

 

At that point, troopers say Little admitted there were drugs inside the vehicle.

 

Investigators say a search uncovered a bag behind the driver’s seat containing a crystal-like substance believed to be methamphetamine and a brown powder believed to be fentanyl.

 

Little was charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance involving methamphetamine, aggravated trafficking in a controlled substance involving fentanyl, speeding, and driving too fast for conditions.
