On Wednesday, a drug detective with the McCracken County Sheriff's office allegedly noticed 27-year-old Christopher Reed of Paducah, walking on Bridge Street near Husbands Road.
Detectives say they are familiar with Reed, and a warrant check revealed that he had two outstanding warrants from Marshall County and McCracken County for failing to appear for drug and theft charges.

A search of Reed's belongings revealed a small amount of methamphetamine, a glass pipe, baggies, and a digital scale.
Reed was lodged in the McCracken County Jail. He is being charged with second offense possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest, and outstanding warrants.
