Two charged with trafficking after allegedly receiving meth in Paducah postal delivery

McCracken County Sheriff's deputies, working with the United States Postal Inspection Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration, arrested two men related to the delivery of a parcel suspected of containing methamphetamine.

During the investigation, detectives observed 32-year-old James Knight of California, and 33-year-old Tylor A. Crews of Pennsylvania pick up a parcel that had been shipped from Compton, California, to a residence in Paducah.

Detectives stopped their vehicle on South 22nd Street in Paducah. A narcotics detection K-9 conducted an open-air sniff and alerted to the odor of illegal narcotics. A search resulted in the recovery of a quantity of marijuana from Knight's person, and detectives located the parcel inside the vehicle.

The parcel was found to contain over two pounds of suspected meth.

Knight and Crews were arrested and charged with trafficking in a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Both men have extensive criminal histories. They were lodged in the McCracken County Regional Jail.
