Paducah woman arrested on meth trafficking charge

A drug trafficking investigation in McCracken County led to a Paducah woman's arrest last week.

Detectives said they received several complaints alleging 48-year-old Cassidy D. Hawkins was involved in selling methamphetamine and other drugs.

Authorities obtained an arrest warrant for Hawkins and went to her home on Markham Avenue, where a search reportedly uncovered meth, marijuana, loaded syringes, and cash believed to be the proceeds from illegal drug sales.

Hawkins was arrested and charged with trafficking in meth and possession of marijuana.

She was taken to the McCracken County jail.
