McCracken County man charged with trafficking meth, fentanyl

A month-long investigation led to the arrest of a McCracken County man on Wednesday for trafficking meth and fentanyl.

The McCracken County Sheriff’s Office said they began an investigation into 37-year-old Daniel Farmer of McCracken County after detectives received information he was allegedly trafficking methamphetamine pills. They said during July, detectives were able to make a meth purchase from Farmer, leading to a warrant to search his home.

During the search, more than 60 grams of methamphetamine, approximately 50 fentanyl pills, hydrocodone pills, suboxone pills, assorted drug paraphernalia and money believed to be proceeds of illegal drug sales were found, according to detectives.

Farmer was arrested and charged with trafficking methamphetamine, fentanyl, hydrocodone and suboxone. He also faces an additional charge of possession of marijuana. Deputies said several charges had been enhanced due to his prior drug trafficking convictions.
