A 57-year-old man from Annetta, Charles Dewayne Ford, has been charged with several drug-related offenses following an investigation by the Greater Hardin County Narcotics Task Force and Kentucky Probation and Parole. The incident occurred on Tuesday at a residence located in the 10200 block of Anneta Road.
Law enforcement officials reported that Ford was found in possession of a marijuana grow operation within his closet, along with packaged methamphetamine believed to be intended for resale and approximately $2,000 in cash. Authorities noted that Ford attempted to conceal the marijuana by placing it in a Ziploc bag and hiding it under other items in his closet.
Additionally, officers discovered a notebook containing evidence related to suspected narcotics trafficking and marijuana cultivation. Ford has been arrested and taken to the Grayson County Detention Center.
He faces multiple charges, including first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance for possessing two grams or more of methamphetamine, cultivating marijuana (five plants or more) as a second or more offense, possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and tampering with physical evidence.
