Six McCracken County residents were arrested during a drug investigation Monday.

The McCracken County Sheriff's Office said detectives contacted 36-year-old Crystal Ramage of Melber to arrange purchasing a quantity of methamphetamine from her in the parking lot of a business on Lone Oak Road.

Ramage was arrested following the transaction and she was found with meth in her possession.

Ramage's boyfriend, 50-year-old Richard King of Melber was also arrested, and the investigation revealed he was also involved with trafficking in meth.

It was learned during the investigation that Ramage had obtained the drugs from 53-year-old Vernon Matthew Bradley of Paducah at his Iroquois Drive residence.

Bradley was at the residence along with 26-year-old Daniel Burden, 49-year-old Jennifer Powell and 48-year-old April Diehl also of Paducah.  At the residence deputies discovered a meth lab, meth smoking pipes, marijuana and digital scales.

All six suspects were lodged in the McCracken County Regional Jail.
