SALYERSVILLE, Ky. — A South Carolina man who police say has been the subject of numerous drug trafficking complaints in Magoffin County was arrested Tuesday, after deputies spotted him in Salyersville.

Deputies were on patrol in downtown when he saw Todd Kreigh, 52, of Lexington, S.C., coming out of Speedway. The police report notes that when Kreigh spotted the deputies, he got into his car, but then sat there for the next 20 minutes.

The deputies finally made contact with him and asked why he was trying to avoid them. Kreigh responded that he was simply talking on the phone.

The deputies then asked if Kreigh had anything illegal in the car. He first said no, but then allegedly turned over a small bag of marijuana.

That gave deputies all the reason they needed to search his car, which revealed about 2.5 oz. of marijuana, an ounce of meth, a small bag of fentanyl, 20 Xanax bars, three THC vape cartridges and paraphernalia.

Kreigh was arrested on charges of meth and marijuana trafficking, as well as possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
