ROYALTON, Ky. — A Magoffin County man found himself headed to jail, after a traffic stop resulted in the discovery of a variety of illegal drugs.

A deputy pulled over Daniel Jackson, 56, as he was arriving at his home near Royalton, after noticing his license plate had no light and some of the numbers on it were painted over.

The deputy wrote in his report that Jackson was acting suspiciously by trying to hurry into his house, and that he later said he didn’t see the officer and wouldn’t look him in the eye. The deputy asked for a K-9 unit to investigate the car, and the dog had a strong response to something inside the car.

Eventually the deputies were able to find a large flashlight and a box inside 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 heroin stuffed between the back seats.

Jackson was arrested for trafficking in meth, marijuana and heroin, along with a long list of traffic violations.
