A Cawood man was recently arrested after an officer allegedly discovered drugs, money and a scale that were believed to be used in trafficking controlled substances.

Michael Myers, 38, was arrested by Harlan City Police Department officer Travis Freeman on Nov. 3.

According to Freeman, Harlan PD received a complaint, stating Myers was trespassing on Walmart property. After running his name, officers learned Myers had an active indictment warrant for his arrest.

Freeman continued to search Myers when he allegedly discovered a plastic baggie with a large amount of crystal-like substance thought to be methamphetamine, a scale and a $100 bill. Freeman also found another baggie believed to contain marijuana.

Myers was charged as a persistent felony offender with first-degree trafficking controlled substance (second offense; greater than/equal to 2 grams methamphetamine), possession of marijuana, third-degree possession of controlled substance (second offense; methamphetamine), possession of drug paraphernalia and operation of motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs/alcohol.
