On
November 18, 2009 McCracken County Sheriff's Detectives arrested Robert
E. Grady Jr. 30, of Broadway charging him with two counts of cocaine
trafficking and other drug related offenses.
The
investigation began after Sheriff's Detectives received complaints
of drug trafficking occurring at the Deluxe Inn on Broadway in
Paducah. Detectives identified Robert E. Grady Jr. 30, who was
residing in one of the hotel rooms as a cocaine trafficker. Over the
past week a Sheriff's Detective acting in the undercover capacity was
able to make cocaine purchases from Grady at the Deluxe Inn.
Detectives
later obtained a search warrant for Grady's hotel room. On
11-18-2009 at approximately 9:26 pm The McCracken County Sheriff's
Department's Special Service Team executed a search warrant at Room
219 of the Deluxe Inn. Detectives located Grady, his girlfriend
Dakissa C. Sherley and nine year old child inside the room.
During a search of the room detectives seized marijuana,
marijuana smoking pipes, digital scales with cocaine residue,
plastic baggies and an undisclosed amount of US currency.
The
investigation revealed that Grady had been selling approximately
$600 worth of cocaine a day for the past two months. Detectives
learned that Grady and Sherley had just smoked marijuana in the
hotel room prior to the execution of the search warrant while the
child was present.
The nine
year old child was released to a family member.
Deputy
Steve Croft and his K-9 Pepo assisted in the search for narcotics.
Detectives
were also assisted by the Paducah Police Department, the Ballard
County Sheriff's Department, the McCracken County Jail and Mercy
Regional Ambulance Service in this investigation.
