September Drug Arrest Leads to Gun Theft Charges

A Paducah man arrested in September on drug charges is now charged with stealing a gun from a McCracken County home.

McCracken County Sheriff's Deputies arrested 19-year-old Logan Cosby on Sept. 17 and charged him with firearm enhanced trafficking in a controlled substance, after deputies say he was caught trying to sell Xanax pills in the parking lot of a Paducah business. Detectives said they found a handgun, 150 doses of Xanax, a digital scale, baggies and more than $1,300 on Cosby during the arrest.

Detectives said they later learned the pistol Cosby had at the time of his arrest had been stolen from a home on Mayfield Metropolis Road. They arrested him Wednesday at his home on theft charges and booked him into the McCracken County Jail.
