PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A Johnson County man who has had frequent run-ins with police could be facing his most serious charges yet, after being indicted by a federal grand jury.

Gary Warick, 56, of Hager Hill, was indicted on charges of possessing, distributing and conspiring to distribute meth.

The charges stem from his arrest by Kentucky State Police, following a search of his home back in May. During that search, troopers reported finding a large amount of meth, along with items consistent with trafficking.

Because he has a previous drug trafficking conviction, Warick could now face a life sentence if he is found guilty.

He is currently being held in the Floyd County Detention Center.
