An investigation Thursday night at the Hopkinsville Best Western led to two people being arrested on drug trafficking charges.
Hopkinsville police were called to the hotel regarding a guest who refused to leave after being ejected for smoking in the building. Officers made contact with 29-year old Gregory Herald and 38-year old Sonya Salyers of Hopkinsville.
The arrest citations say Herald appeared to be under the influence of a substance and there were three purses located inside their vehicle. Salyers claimed ownership of one of the purses and a search of another allegedly revealed methamphetamine, a meth pipe, two needles and baggies.
Police say a K9 alerted on the vehicle and a search of Salyers’ purse also turned up meth.
Herald allegedly had a bottle of marijuana in his pocket and a large amount of cash concealed in his underwear.
Both suspects were arrested for trafficking in methamphetamine and Herald was additionally charged with possession of marijuana.
