A Paducah couple were arrested Friday on drug charges at a home in Lone Oak.

The McCracken County Sheriff's Department said they received complaints about drug activity taking place at the home on North Concord Avenue. Detectives went to the home and spoke with 33-year-old Jonathan Taylor, and learned he was wanted on an arrest warrant from Crittenden County. They also reportedly found methamphetamine and other drug-related items in a bedroom of the home. 

Detectives say a further search of the home revealed evidence of meth labs in an attached part of the home, and several materials used to make meth. Taylor and his girlfriend, 21-year-old Taylor Sewell, allegedly admitted to buying pseudoephedrine on multiple occasions for the purpose of making meth. 

Taylor and Sewell were arrested and charged with complicity to manufacture methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Taylor was also charged with the outstanding warrant. They were taken to McCracken County Jail.

Detectives say the investigation into drug activity is continuing, and more arrests are expected. They encourage anyone with information about illegal drug activity to contact the Sheriff's Department Drug Division at 270-448-1516 or 270-444-5157.
