A traffic stop early Sunday morning led to a Livingston County man's arrest on drug charges.

According to the McCracken County Sherff's Office, deputies stopped a pick-up truck in the 100 block of Oaks Road for traffic violations. According to police, the driver, 45-year-old Douglas Walker of Grand Rivers, showed signs of impairment and was asked to exit the vehicle for field sobriety tests.

Walker was found to be under the influence of prescription medication while operating the vehicle. During a search of the vehicle, deputies reportedly found several oxycodone and hydrocodone pills that Walker did not have a prescription for. 

Walker was arrested and transported to the McCracken County Regional Jail. He's charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs, operating on a suspended driver's license and speeding.
