A Leitchfield man has been arrested on multiple drug charges after a traffic stop on St. Paul Road.
Wednesday morning at approximately 1:15, Grayson County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Zane Greer was stationary near the St. Paul Road-Salt River Road intersection when he observed a Ford F150 driving recklessly as it turned left onto St. Paul Road from Salt River Road.
Greer conducted a traffic stop in the 4000 block of St. Paul Road and made contact with the driver, 22-year-old Alexander Madison. Greer immediately detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from the truck, which also contained a female juvenile.
Madison was given a field sobriety test and arrested. During a search of the truck, Greer and Deputy Sean Fentress located a “significant” amount of marijuana and a “significant” number of gabapentin and other pills.
Madison was charged with DUI, trafficking in marijuana, two counts of possession of a controlled substance (opiates, drug unspecified), prescription controlled substance not in its proper container, careless driving, and possession of drug paraphernalia, along with other charges.
He was lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center.
