Three people were indicted on charges of trafficking in synthetic drugs—24-year old Jaleel Lee of Murray, 24-year old Bradley Higgins of Murray and 34-year old Deandre Ash of Almo. According to the arrest citation, a traffic stop was conducted on a vehicle driven by Lee for a traffic violation and a K9 alerted onto the vehicle. The other two were passengers in the vehicle.
A search allegedly revealed a large amount of synthetic drugs. Lee is also facing the traffic violation charges and Higgins with not maintaining insurance on the vehicle.
