A tip led to the arrest of a Grand Rivers man Tuesday on a meth charge.

McCracken County deputies said they were contacted by USEC about an employee that might have illegal substances in his vehicle on their property.

Deputies said the legend drugs require a prescription and were not in their proper containers.

Walker was arrested and charged with trafficking in meth, illegal possession of a legend drug, and prescription not in the proper container.

He was taken to the McCracken County jail.
