One man out of Eastern Kentucky is facing several charges after police discovered a significant amount of drugs inside his vehicle during a traffic stop, including a large quantity of meth.
Kentucky State Police stopped a car last Thursday night on the Hal Rogers Parkway in Leslie County, after a trooper noticed what they referred to as several moving violations.
The trooper, along with two Leslie County Sheriff’s Office deputies, discovered two pounds of meth, three grams of cocaine, a large amount of pills and a lot of cash inside the vehicle.
The driver, 32 year old Otis Coots of Smilax, was arrested and charged with DUI, two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance. He was also charged with several traffic violations.
Coots is being held at the Leslie County Detention Center.
