PAINTSVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) – Two men were arrested Monday after Paintsville police reported finding suspected drugs during a traffic stop on U.S. 23.
According to the department, an officer stopped a gold Dodge Ram traveling south around 3:47 a.m. Sept. 21 because its rear license plate was not illuminated.
Police say the officer noticed an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. The passenger consented to a search, which reportedly uncovered suspected Xanax pills in his pocket.
A search of the truck turned up pills identified as oxycodone, suspected Suboxone, a substance believed to be methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Police identified the two men arrested as Robert Hall and Roger Johnson. Both denied ownership of the suspected controlled substances found inside the truck, according to the department.
The release did not list specific charges.
