The Martin County Sheriff’s Office received a tip Tuesday evening about people in a home in Inez dealing meth. Upon police arrival, the owner of the home, Jason T. Pennington gave deputies consent to search the property.

Deputies found a set of scales on the floor inside of the home and several baggies behind a TV which the owner said contained heroin. Pennington told deputies there was a man inside of the bathroom. The man was found, and was told not to flush the toilet before coming out, but he did anyway.

During a search of the bathroom, deputies found a large bag of suspected meth in the trash can and suspected meth around the inside of the toilet.

In total 51 grams of meth were found.

Kyle Taylor, from Detroit Michigan was also arrested.

Both men were taken to the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center.
