PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A Magoffin County man who was indicted on federal drug charges last month after drugs were found hidden in his car back in February has now been arrested.

Daniel Jackson, 56, of Salyersville, stands accused of possession of meth and fentanyl with the intent to distribute.
Jackson was pulled over for an equipment violation Feb. 7, and the deputy called in a drug dog because he was acting suspiciously. That resulted in the discovery of a flashlight and a box hidden in the dashboard. The flashlight contained 82 grams of meth, while the box had another 20 grams of meth and 8 grams marijuana. A further search turned up a small bag of suspected heroin stuffed between the back seats.
Jackson was arrested when the drugs were discovered, but was later released on his own recognizance. He was arrested again on Friday.
The charge he is facing typically carries a maximum 20-year sentence, but he faces up to 40 years, due to the amount of drugs found in his car.
No hearings have yet been set in the case.
