PAINTSVILLE, Ky. — A Floyd County couple was taken to jail for drug trafficking, after police found them and a child sleeping in their car in a gas station parking lot.
A Paintsville Police officer and Johnson County sheriff’s deputy spotted the car around 2:30 Saturday morning. Inside, Mindy Gail Robinson, 46, and Keith Jones, 50, both of Prestonsburg, and the juvenile were all unconscious.
After waking them, Robinson was detained on suspicion of DUI. A search of the car then turned up several bags of meth, a Coke can with a false bottom containing a bag of marijuana, a set of digital scales and several plastic bags.
Robinson and Jones were then charged with meth and marijuana trafficking, first-degree wanton endangerment and possession of drug paraphernalia. Both remain in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Paintsville.
The child was temporarily placed in the custody of his uncle.
