Three Arrested After Detective Finds Missing Truck

Three Graves County residents were arrested Saturday morning following an investigation into a truck reported stolen.

According to the Graves County Sheriff's Department, someone reported the truck was stolen late Friday night. While investigating, they learned that 40-year-old Jason Holmes of Farmington might have the truck, and could be armed and dangerous, since two handguns were reportedly in the truck when it was taken. 

A detective spotted the truck early Saturday morning and called for assistance. Just after 5:00 am, law enforcement spoke to 36-year-old Amanda Thurman of Wingo at her apartment. She reportedly let officers inside and said Holmes was hiding in a back room. Deputies say he was found in the bathroom and was detained. 

A search of the apartment was conducted, and a fanny pack was found in a closet. It allegedly contained methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia indicative of drug trafficking.

Detectives also spoke to 47-year-old Kenneth Ross of Mayfield, who was in the apartment. When he was searched, he allegedly had meth and a syringe.

All three people were arrested for trafficking in a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Holmes was charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle.

During booking into Graves County Jail, a search of Holmes led to seizure of a baggie of meth, so he will also be charged with promoting contraband.
