trafficking occurring at 1612 Clark Street in Paducah. Detectives,
assisted by the Marshall County Sheriff's Department conducted an
investigation that involved making a methamphetamine purchase from
the residence. While conducting surveillance on the residence

baggies in an undergarment along with several doses of Sudafed.
A search of the vehicle revealed a plastic baggy that contained 40
doses of Sudafed. The 2003 Hyundai was seized as a result of the
Sheriff's Department's investigation.

Jody Higdon stopped and arrested Harris on the parking lot when
he arrived at 11:45 pm driving a 1997 Honda passenger car. A search
