A man and woman are facing drug trafficking and weapon charges after multiple law enforcement agencies executed a search warrant at a Kuttawa residence this week.
Sheriff Brent White says the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office along with the Western KY Violent Crimes Task Force and the Eddyville Police Department, executed a search warrant at a residence on Locust Street around 2:00 Monday afternoon, October 2nd.
During the search, law enforcement reportedly found methamphetamine, marijuana, plastic packaging, and other items of paraphernalia consistent with illegal drug trafficking. Law enforcement also located a 20 gauge shotgun.
According to Sheriff White, both residents, 40-year old Dustin Edging and 31-year old Emma Wadley, were taken into custody and charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance over 2 grams of methamphetamine – firearm enhanced, possession of marijuana, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of drug paraphernalia. He says both Edging and Wadley are previously convicted felons.
Edging and Wadley are lodged in the McCracken County Jail.
