TOMAHAWK, Ky. — A Johnson County man was arrested in Martin County Sunday, after a drug trafficking complaint turned up a substantial quantity of fentanyl.

Deputies were called to a gas station in Tomahawk Sunday evening. There, they encountered Michael Meade, 23, of Hager Hill.

Sheriff’s K-9 Zoe was brought in to sniff around Meade’s car and led deputies to the discovery of more than a gram of fentanyl. While the quantity might sound small, fentanyl is so powerful that as little as two milligrams can be lethal, and Meade allegedly had more than 500 times that amount.

He was arrested and charged with fentanyl trafficking, which carries a potential sentence of 5-to-10 years in prison.
