Two men face drug charges after police say one of them set fire to a Paducah motel room.

Police were called about 10:45 am Sunday to Motel 6 at 5120 Hinkleville Road. Officers reportedly arrived to find a large burned area in a room and began questioning its occupants, 36-year-old Kasy Sigrist of Paducah and 42-year-old Shaun Wilkins of Metropolis, IL.

Police said Sigrist told them he had spilled butane on his clothing and was smoking marijuana in the room, which had caused the fire. After placing Sigrist under arrest, officers reportedly found hypodermic needles and about two grams of methamphetamine in a plastic bag on him. Sigrist was charged with  first-degree criminal mischief, possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) and possession of drug paraphernalia.

During a search of Wilkins' vehicle, officers said they found almost a gram of methamphetamine in a plastic bag and drug paraphernalia. Wilkins was charged with possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Both men were booked into McCracken County Regional Jail.
