Three Paducah residents jailed on drug charges

Two separate drug investigations in McCracken County last Thursday led to three arrests.

Detectives stopped a vehicle on Lone Oak Road for an alleged traffic violation. Police said a K-9 alerted to the presence of narcotics in the vehicle, which reportedly led to the discovery of meth and marijuana.

The occupants, 39-year-old Joshua Stroup, and 30-year-old Kelly Johnson, were both charged with possession offenses.

Later that day, the search of a home on Broadway reportedly yielded methamphetamine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia.The search ended in the arrest of 50-year-old Anthony Orr.
