A call to Louisville Metro police about a domestic violence incident resulted in a man being arrested on multiple drug trafficking charges.
Jalyn King, 24 of Louisville, is charged with one count of trafficking in marijuana and six counts of trafficking in controlled substances. He is also charged with strangulation and assault-domestic violence.
An arrest report says uniformed officers were called to a home in the 4600 block of Seibel Court around Noon Tuesday on the domestic violence run. They notified detectives when they found narcotics, a semi-automatic pistol, and multiple rounds of ammo for various weapons in plain sight. The report goes on to say the victim told officers there were more drugs, along with pistols and rifles, inside a gun safe in the home.
After obtaining a search warrant, Louisville Metro Police Department detectives found a large amount of suspected meth, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, mushrooms, marijuana, and pills that were packaged for sale. The drugs were inside a charcoal grill behind the home and inside the gun safe. Also found in the safe was a large amount of cash.
After being given his Miranda rights, King told police he traffics drugs as a source of income.
King was booked into Louisville Metro Corrections. Bond was set at $75,000 cash during his arraignment Wednesday morning. If bond is posted, King will be placed into the Home Incarceration Program.
His next court date is set for January 18.
