A Leitchfield man previously charged with trying to bring drugs into the Grayson County Detention Center has again been caught with drugs inside the jail.
Leitchfield Police Department Sgt. DJ Newton arrested 60-year-old Michael Clark on a Grayson County indictment warrant charging him with two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance (cocaine, methamphetamine), possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, and promoting contraband (attempting to bring contraband into the detention center).
Clark was arrested in the 600 block of Marion Street.
Newton transported Clark to the detention center and, according to the arrest citation, asked Clark if “there was anything illegal on his person.” Newton also reminded Clark that he was caught trying to bring drugs into the jail in his sock on a previous occasion.
Clark denied having anything illegal on his person, but during a search at the detention center, a deputy jailer located a methamphetamine pipe containing methamphetamine in the suspect’s possession.
In addition to the indictment warrant, Clark was charged with possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), promoting contraband, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
