Search of Mobile Home Leads to Drug Charges

Two Lone Oak residents were arrested over the weekend on drug charges.

Detectives with the McCracken County Sheriff’s Department had received complaints of possible drug activity at a home in a mobile home park on Bleich Road. After investigating for about two weeks, detectives executed a search warrant on Sunday at about 6:30 pm. 

Detectives say the search revealed numerous methamphetamine pipes, some of which were hidden in a hole in the wall behind a television. Detectives also say they seized a small amount of meth. 

When 35-year-old Jodi L. Gainey and 43-year-old Carl L. McGuffie were interviewed, detectives say they admitted using meth, and said they had arranged a drug transaction with another person. 

Gainey and McGuffie were arrested for 1st degree trafficking in a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. They were taken to McCracken County Jail.

The Sheriff's Department says McGuffie is currently on parole for felony charges related to methamphetamine.
