Three Graves County residents were arrested late Wednesday night after authorities say a search of their home turned up lots of cocaine and lots of cash.

According to the Graves County Sheriff's Office, drug detectives conducted an eight-month investigation of 45-year-old Cedrich Jackson and 46-year-old Catherine Weatherbee. Sheriff Dewayne Redmon said several covert drug buys were conducted during the investigation, which led to the search of the couple's home on South 10th Street in Mayfield.

During the search of the home, Redmon said more than 151 grams of cocaine, with a street value of $15,130, was found. Several Hydrocodone and Alprazolam prescription pills were found not in the proper containers, some with money inside the bottles with them.

Redmon said more than $11,000 cash, believed to be proceeds from illegal drug sales, was seized during the search.

Jackson and Weatherbee were arrested and each charged with two counts of trafficking cocaine, two counts of trafficking controlled substance, five counts of prescription not in the proper container and possession of drug paraphernalia. Also arrested was Jamel Alubahi for trafficking cocaine.

All three were booked into the Graves County Jail.
