Cadiz man arrested in connection with obscene materials found in Lyon & Crittenden County

A suspect sought in connection with the placement of obscene material at churches in Lyon, Crittenden and Livingston counties along with the Lyon County Courthouse has been arrested.

The Lyon County Sheriff's Office said in a social media post Saturday night they found 44-year-old Larry "Derek"  Loveless.  Loveless had spoken this past week with Lyon County Sheriff Brent White and had planned to turn himself in.  However, Loveless did not do so.

Just after 8 pm Saturday, Lyon County deputies and Kentucky State Police stopped a vehicle operated by Loveless on KY 293.  He was found in possession of an illegal firearm and methamphetamine.

Loveless was also charged with the following offenses: Distribution of Obscene Material (two counts Lyon County),, Criminal Trespassing, Possession of Controlled Substance-Firearm Enhanced, Possession of  Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of Defaced Firearm, Possession of Handgun by Convicted Felon, Operating a Motor Vehicle Under the Influence-Controlled Substance and Distribution of Obscene Material (Livingston County criminal complaint).

Loveless was taken to the Crittenden County Detention Center.  The investigation is continuing.
