\nA Barren County man was charged after detectives executed a search warrant at a home in Cave City.<\/p>\n
Jimmy Lee Edwards, 75, was charged with two counts of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, trafficking in marijuana and unlawful transaction with a minor (illegal controlled substance).<\/p>\n
On July 27, Barren River Drug Task Force detectives executed a search warrant at 11 p.m. at a home on Hiseville Bear Wallow Road.<\/p>\n
The search warrant came from an investigation that Edwards was selling illegal drugs, according to reports.<\/p>\n
A total of over 6 ounces of crystal meth was found at the home along with 58 grams of suspected marijuana.<\/p>\n
Police also found four firearms, money, scales, baggies, drug paraphernalia and cell phones.<\/p>\n
A reported 17-year-old missing juvenile was also found at the home who told police that he had used meth at the home.<\/p>\n
Another witness confirmed that Edwards had provided the juvenile with the drugs and told him to distribute it, according to police.<\/p>\n
Edwards was taken to the Barren County Detention Center where he remains as of Tuesday under a $50,000 cash bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on August 7.
