PRESTONSBURG, Ky. — A Pike County man is in jail, after police found him with a variety of drugs during a traffic stop.
A Prestonsburg Police officer pulled over a car on U.S. 23 in Prestonsburg. While talking to the driver, the officer noticed his passenger was visibly shaking and avoiding eye contact.
The officer soon learned the passenger, identified as Christopher Justice, 46, of Jonancy, was wanted on two bench warrants, and he was placed under arrest.
The officer then got permission to search the car, resulting in the discovery of a large bag of meth in the glove compartment. He also found a pill bottle with a woman’s name on it that contained meth, marijuana and several types of pills.
Justice allegedly admitted to the officer that all of the drugs were his. He was then charged with meth trafficking and five counts of possession, on top of the active warrants.
