BELFRY, Ky. — A Michigan man was arrested in Pike County Wednesday, after police discovered a large amount of drugs being shipped to a Belfry address.
Kentucky State Police’s Drug Enforcement Special Investigations East unit obtained a search warrant for a FedEx package being sent to the address. Inside, they found about a pound of meth, along with a large amount of fentanyl.
Officers then went to the address where the package was being sent and found Marques Yeldell, 25, of Detroit, Mich., sitting in a Jeep beside the house. Yeldell told police he was waiting on a woman, but then refused to answer any more questions.
Police then learned from witnesses that Yeldell did not live at the address, but he had been sitting in the Jeep for three days, waiting for someone to bring him something.
When running his information, officers also found out he is wanted in Michigan.
Yeldell was arrested and charge with trafficking in meth and fentanyl, along with the fugitive warrant.
