Authorities in McCracken County have arrested a wanted man and a woman who they say was helping him hide from police.

The McCracken County Sheriff’s Department says detectives arrested 43-year-old Marlon Brown on Friday, after searching for him for several months on outstanding warrants in Kentucky and Illinois. Detectives and deputy U.S. Marshals located Brown Friday afternoon hiding in an attic inside a home on Alabama Street. He was taken into custody with the help of the department's K-9 unit.

Detectives conducted a search of the home, and reportedly found marijuana floating in the toilet, digital scales and $3,351 they believed to be proceeds of illegal drug sales. The investigation revealed that Brown had flushed drugs down the toilet when law enforcement arrived at the home.

A resident at the home, 38-year-old Jodi Pendergrass was also arrested. Deputies said Pendergrass was aware that Brown was wanted, and that she had assisted him into the attic. Pendergrass was also found in possession of a small quantity of Marijuana.

Both Brown and Pendergrass were booked in the McCracken County Regional Jail.
