According to the McCracken County Sheriff's Office, just before 2:00 am, deputies conducted a traffic stop on a Harley Davidson motorcycle on John Puryear Drive for moving violations. The operator, 56-year-old Roger Gibson of Paducah, reportedly disregarded the deputy’s lights and sirens, accelerated, and continued onto Estes Lane.
Gibson continued to disregard deputies' attempts to stop him, and pulled into his driveway on Oaks Road. Once Gibson stopped he was detained and a search allegedly produced a syringe that contained methamphetamine.
Gibson was arrested and charged with speeding, no registration, failure to produce insurance card, no motorcycle license, fleeing or evading police, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was lodged in the McCracken County Regional Jail.
