A Hopkinsville pair were arrested on charges of trafficking in methamphetamine Thursday after a traffic stop on North Main Street.
According to the police report, officers conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle that was travelling southbound on North Main Street around 10 p.m. for having expired tags. Contact was made with the driver, 32-year old Timothy Barry of Hopkinsville, who was reportedly extremely nervous and unable to produce a Kentucky driver’s license or proof of insurance.

A set of digital scales and marijuana was located on Barry’s person.
A passenger in the vehicle, 30-year old Tiffany Jones of Hopkinsville, was also arrested and once at the Christian County Jail, a search of her person revealed more baggies of meth in her bra, which she allegedly admitted to possessing.
Both are charged with trafficking in meth, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Barry is additional charged with several traffic violations.
