Deputies with the Christian County Sheriff’s Office stopped a vehicle early Wednesday morning and arrested a Hopkinsville man for gun and drug charges.
According to an arrest citation from Sgt. John Quarles, 29-year-old John Perrine was pulled over on Lake Morris Road at around 3:00 am because of expired tags.

A search of the vehicle yielded a baggie of suspected meth and a handgun.
