The
McCracken County Sheriff's Department Drug Division arrested four
individuals on drug related offenses following an investigation
conducted at the Dairy Queen located at 1031 Joe Clinton
in Paducah on March 9, 2010.
Over the
past several days the McCracken County Sheriff's Department received numerous
complaints alleging that employees of the Dairy Queen located
at 1031 Joe Clifton in Paducah were using and or selling Marijuana
on the business parking lot.
In order
to investigate some of these alleged complaints, detectives
with the McCracken County Sheriff's Department drug division conducted
surveillance on the parking lot of the business for a period of
time on March 9th 2010. At approximately 2:09 P.M, after only a
few minutes of surveillance, detectives observed two employees
of Dairy Queen in a pickup truck smoking marijuana out of a pipe.
They were still on the parking lot of Dairy Queen. Detectives identified
the two individuals in the pickup truck as Christopher S. Young
and Darren A Moore. A search of the truck revealed two
plastic baggies of Marijuana, a marijuana smoking pipe and
a dose of Lortab. Additionally detectives searched a
vehicle on the parking lot belonging to Moore and seized
another Marijuana smoking pipe from the vehicle.
Through
the course of their investigation, detectives learned that other
individuals would be delivering a quantity of Marijuana,
Oxycontin and Valium later in the evening to the Dairy Queen. On
the same date, at approximately 5:57 pm, detectives observed a 2003,
gold in color, Kia passenger car driven by Troy Jones Jr. along with
his passenger Rachele Freiberg, pull into the rear parking
lot of Dairy Queen. Detectives attempted to block the vehicle
in on the parking lot with blue lights and sirens activated,
but the Kia struck a Sheriff's Departmental
vehicle and fled east on Park Avenue. The vehicle stopped a short distance
later on Park Avenue and both Jones and Freiberg were
arrested. A search of Jones's person revealed Marijuana
packaged for sale and a cell phone that was used to
conduct drug sales. A search of Freiberg's person located marijuana
concealed in her bra as well as four doses of Valium and one
dose of Oxycontin in a pants pocket.
Detectives
were familiar with Jones, having arrested him in May of 2009 in
McCracken County for trafficking in excess of eight ounces of
Marijuana. Jones is currently on felony probation in relation to that
case.
Detectives
later learned through their investigation that Freiberg had
stolen the pills found on her person, approximately a month
prior in McCracken County from a family member. All four individuals
were lodged in the McCracken County Jail.
