Two Crofton residents arrested on drug charges

Two Crofton residents were arrested Saturday on drug charges, following a traffic stop on Madisonville Road.

According to the news release from the Christian County Sheriff’s Department, deputies were dispatched to an area of Madisonville Road for reports that a vehicle had run off the road around 10 p.m. Saturday. Deputy Sam Suiter passed a vehicle on the way there that matched the description of the run that reportedly ran off the road, so he initiated a traffic stop to check on the occupants.

Both occupants reported told deputies that they had seen another vehicle drive off the road and stopped to see what was going on, before turning around and leaving the scene. They reportedly gave consent to a search of the vehicle, saying they had no contraband. The search allegedly revealed a pill bottle that contained multiple pills suspected to be suboxone and Adderall wrapped in plastic.

The subjects, 37-year-old Jaime Bean and 51-year-old Marty Draper, reportedly said they found the pill bottle where the other vehicle had run of the road and didn’t know what was in it.

They were both arrested and charged with trafficking in a controlled substance, prescription not in a proper container and unlawful possession of a methamphetamine precursor.
