Demarcus McCarley, age 39, was arrested after the Special Investigative Unit and the S.W.A.T team from the Hopkinsville Police Department executed a search warrant on a residence that reportedly unveiled multiple controlled substances on Wednesday.
According to a report, the search warrant was served at a residence on McKee Street and as officers arrived at the residence, McCarley attempted to flee in a rental vehicle ramming into a police cruiser while doing so. Officers reportedly surrounded McCarley’s vehicle and he was then taken into custody without further incident.
A search of the residence allegedly revealed cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamine, marijuana and a handgun.
McCarley was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment, first-degree fleeing or evading police, first-degree criminal mischief, three counts of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, resisting arrest and operating a vehicle on a suspended license.
