SALYERSVILLE, Ky. — One man has been arrested, but deputies are on the hunt for another, following a drug raid at a Magoffin County home.
Magoffin County sheriff’s deputies served a search warrant at a Lakeville home of Eddie McFarland, 34, on Sunday. Sheriff Bill Meade tells Mountain Top News the raid was the culmination of a long drug investigation that resulted in several undercover buys.
Meade said McFarland and another man, Anthony Darrell Saylor, 38, of Salyersville, fled when they saw police coming.
During their search of the home, officers reported seizing a substantial amount of meth, fentanyl and heroin, along with guns, methadone and trafficking paraphernalia.
Monday night, deputies arrested Saylor during a traffic stop. He is being held in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center on charges of meth and heroin trafficking and receiving stolen property.
Sheriff Meade said his office is still looking for McFarland. He anticipates that the case will ultimately result in federal charges.
