GRETHEL, Ky. — Two men were arrested after deputies staged a late-night drug raid in Floyd County last week.

Deputies went to the Grethel home of Shelton Jones, 33, with both a search warrant and an indictment warrant for a previous case.

During their search, they found meth, heroin and marijuana, along with a variety of trafficking paraphernalia.

Jones told police all of the drugs were his, but another man at the home, 39-year-old William Hylton, of Salyersville, ran to a bathroom and tried to barricade himself inside. When police got inside the bathroom and detained him, they found bags of heroin and meth hidden in the back of the toilet.

Both men were arrested for trafficking, possession and other charges.
