According to the McCracken County Sheriff's Office, deputies stopped a van on North 8th Street near the Brookport Bridge for an equipment violation. During the course of the traffic stop, deputies learned that a passenger in the van, 29-year-old John Stevens, had an outstanding bench warrant out of McCracken County District Court for failure to appear.
Deputies arrested Stevens on the bench warrant, and through further investigation, they reportedly discovered that Stevens had suspected methamphetamine, oxycodone pills and assorted items of drug paraphernalia.
Stevens was booked into the McCracken County Regional Jail on charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and prescription controlled substance not in the proper container.
