PADUCAH - A Paducah woman was arrested Tuesday morning on drug charges.

The McCracken County Sheriff's Office says deputies conducted a welfare check shortly after midnight at a home in the 2200 block of Sunset Drive.

While officers were at the home, 50-year-old Christal Ylitalo of Paducah was found to have an active warrant for a probation violation. Deputies said they found about 5 grams of methamphetamine on Ylitalo, and money they believed to be proceeds of illegal drug sales.

Ylitalo was arrested and booked into the McCracken County Regional Jail.
