Investigators with the Christian County Sheriff’s Office recovered a stolen trailer at a Butler Road home early Tuesday morning and made two arrests.
According to an arrest citation from Detective Luis Palmer, as a result of an ongoing investigation, a search warrant was obtained for a home in the 2000 block of Butler Rd. to look for stolen property taken in December of last year from Palmyra Rd. Detectives located a stolen trailer and arrested 39-year-old Norman Thomas Johnson of Hopkinsville, charging him with Theft by Unlawful Taking U/$10,000.
During the search, 41-year-old Richard Dwayne Scott of Oak Grove was also arrested by Detective Sgt. Ricky Burgess after he was found to be in possession of suspected marijuana, suspected methamphetamine residue, and drug paraphernalia. According to Burgess, Scott attempted to conceal the items after authorities arrived on the scene by throwing a Crown Royal bag under a vehicle at the residence. Scott was charged with Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Tampering with Physical Evidence.
Both subjects were transported to the Christian County Jail and investigators say further charges are pending.
