PAINTSVILLE, Ky. — A Johnson County man is in jail, after police raided his home and found more than a pound of meth.

Kentucky State Police’s Drug Enforcement Special Investigations unit obtained a search warrant for the home of Edward Carl Ramey, 45, of Paintsville, as part of a drug investigation.
