A Lawrenceburg man is facing charges including trafficking after allegedly being found in possession of methamphetamine following a traffic stop.
Tommy Turner, 42, of Lawrenceburg, was arrested by Harlan County Sheriff’s Deputy Brian Maas on Sept. 3.

Turner told police his “stuff” was ten times better than what anyone had to offer locally.
