MAGOFFIN COUNTY, KY.–A Floyd County man finds himself up a creek after being found in a creek with a large amount of drugs.

It began when the Magoffin County Sheriff’s Department responded to the call of a possible traffic accident. Upon arrival one of the subjects on scene fled. Kentucky State Police was called in to assist in the search for 30-year old Kenneth Hayden of Blue River who was later found on Ky route 7 hiding in a creek behind a residence.
