An alleged burglary in progress led to a drug arrest Saturday night.

According to the McCracken County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to 130 Jan Lyn Drive for a report of an alleged burglary in progress. The resident said an unknown man, wearing gloves and a head lamp, was beating on their front door. 

Upon arrival, deputies saw 29-year-old Matthew Eggleston of Paducah standing in front of the resident's vehicle that was parked near the front door. Eggleston was detained, and during the investigation, deputies learned that Eggleston had mistakenly gone to the wrong address to pick up a friend. 

Police said Eggleston was found in possession of methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia, along with a set of brass knuckles. He was taken into custody on charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia and carrying a concealed deadly weapon.
