April 8, 2025 – Christian County, KY: A routine traffic stop on Tuesday afternoon led to the arrest of three Kentucky men on multiple drug-related charges.
At approximately 3:30 p.m., deputies with the Christian County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop near the intersection of Greenville Road and the Bypass, just north of Hopkinsville. Upon approaching the vehicle, deputies made contact with three male occupants.
One of the passengers, identified as 42-year-old Brandon Marvin of Livermore, KY, was found to have an active Contempt of Court warrant out of McLean County. All three individuals were asked to exit the vehicle while deputies continued their investigation.
A K9 unit was called to the scene and alerted on the vehicle’s rear passenger side. With the occupants’ consent, deputies conducted a search of the vehicle, discovering suspected methamphetamine, marijuana, a white powdery substance, and various items of drug paraphernalia.
During individual interviews, none of the occupants claimed ownership of the illegal substances. As a result, all three men—52-year-old driver Jeffrey Tucker of Utica, KY; 44-year-old passenger Jay Riley of Calhoun, KY; and Brandon Marvin—were taken into custody.
Each individual was charged with:
- Possession of Methamphetamine
- Possession of a Controlled Substance
