Three Face Drug, Gun Charges Following Dispute

Three McCracken County residents face various drug and gun charges after an arrest Wednesday evening.

According to the McCracken County Sheriff's Department, their investigation began with deputies responding to a dispute on Spann Lane in McCracken County. When officers arrived, they were met by a woman who claimed that 27-year-old Dallas Woodford, Jr had threatened her with a handgun over a property dispute.

During their preliminary investigation, deputies discovered that Woodford was a convicted felon and unable to possess firearms.

While deputies were talking with the involved parties at the home on Spann Lane, they noticed a man, later identified as 22-year-old Joseph Fletcher, attempting leave through a window. Fletcher was arrested on an outstanding warrant.

Fletcher was taken to the McCracken County Jail where he was later found to have crystal meth hidden in his underwear.

Detectives then returned to the scene on Spann Lane with a search warrant. Their search led to the discovery of more than 42 grams of crystal meth, 38 doses of Ecstacy, digital scales, smoking pipes, a loaded .380 handgun, and $1600 which they believed to be the proceeds of drug sales. Their search also revealed that Joseph Fletcher had attempted to conceal a handgun in an air vent prior to the deputies arrival.

Woodford and Casey Fletcher, both residents of the home, were arrested and booked into the McCracken County Jail.

All three face drug possession and trafficking charges.
