Carlisle traffic stop turns into drug arrest for two women

A Friday night traffic stop in Carlisle County turned into a drug arrest for two women.

A Carlisle County Sheriff's deputy stopped a vehicle driven by 43-year-old Christina Griffin of Paducah. The deputy noticed the passenger, Rikki Warthen of Carbondale, allegedly try to hide something in the glove box. 

The women gave the deputy permission to search the vehicle, and he reportedly found a meth pipe in the glove box. Warthen allegedly admitted to putting it there after using it earlier in the evening. The deputy reported that Warthen appeared to be under the influence. Warthen was charged with possession of meth and public intoxication. 

The deputy allegedly found around a gram of meth in Griffin's purse. She told the deputy she did not know how it got there. Griffin was charged with possession of meth and a series of traffic violations.

Both women were taken to the McCracken County Regional Jail.
