Four Paducah residents arrested on drug charges

Four Paducah residents were arrested Monday following a drug investigation which began Sunday night.

The McCracken County Sheriff's Department said they received information that illegal drug activities were taking place at a Bryant Ford Road residence.

Detectives obtained a search warrant and found 58-year-old Jerry Powers at the residence and also discovered methamphetamines and marijuana.

The investigation revealed 18-year-old Faith Powers and 19-year-old Bailey Scillion were also involved in the activities. On Monday, detectives observed Powers leaving the residence in a vehicle operated by 20-year-old Gavin Adkinson.  

Both were arrested in a traffic stop on Benton Road after Adkinson admitted having fentanyl.

Detectives returned to the residence and arrested Scillion on an outstanding warrant and investigators found more fentanyl.

All four were lodged in the McCracken County Regional Jail.
