A search warrant was executed at a home in Nortonville Tuesday morning, resulting in drug charges for three suspects.

Officers from the Madisonville-Hopkins County Vice/Narcotics Task Force executed a search warrant at the 114 Church Street apartment of 22-year old Tyler Massey, 20-year old Jordan Knight and 21-year old Matthew Pleasant.

A news release says police located 376 grams of suspected synthetic drugs, several items of drug paraphernalia, prescription medications, cash and drug packaging materials.

The one-year old child of Knight and Massey was also in the home.

Knight and Massey were arrested for trafficking in synthetic drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and second-degree wanton endangerment. Pleasant is charged with possession of synthetic drugs and drug paraphernalia.

State social workers were called to assist with the welfare of the child.
