Hickman County man charged with drug trafficking

A Hickman County man has been charged with drug trafficking after a two-county investigation.

The Graves County and Hickman County Sheriff’s Offices joined together in an investigation of methamphetamine trafficking in the two counties. Information uncovered by detectives led them to 46-year-old Randall K. Riley of Hickman County. Undercover detectives reportedly made purchases of meth from Riley.

Then on Tuesday, deputies from Graves and Hickman County caught up with Riley along Reed Road near the county line. He was arrested and charged with trafficking in methamphetamine and being a persistent felony offender. Riley has a prior meth conviction from 2021 in McCracken County.

Detectives are continuing to investigate.
