Two Bowling Green men were arrested Wednesday after the Bowling Green-Warren County Drug Task Force seized 80 pounds of crystal methamphetamine with a street value of over $500,000.
Joseph Adam Raby, 40, was charged first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, first-degree fleeing or evading police, first-degree wanton endangerment of a police officer, first-degree wanton endangerment of citizens, excessive window tinting and third-degree criminal mischief.
Brandon Trent, 24, was charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance.
According to a statement from the task force, this had been an ongoing investigation and the force had developed information of a potential load of narcotics coming to Bowling Green.
Kentucky State Police Interdiction Team were alerted and detectives and Kentucky State Police located the suspect vehicle returning to Kentucky from the south. When the Kentucky State Police initiated a traffic stop, a brief pursuit followed but troopers were able to stop the vehicle about 5 miles south of Bowling Green on I-65 at 2 p.m.
Law enforcement said they made the arrests without further resistance.
Police said they searched the vehicle recovering 80 pounds of crystal methamphetamine with a street valve of over $500,00. They said the seizure was the largest seizure of crystal methamphetamine in Warren County.
The investigation is ongoing and both Raby and Trent remain housed in the Warren County Detention Center under a $25,000 cash bond each.
