A Liberty man arrested on Easter Sunday for drug charges.

Casey County Sheriff Chad Weddle answered a call of a reckless driver shortly after 4pm Sunday afternoon on Ky 206 & Ky 70.

Sheriff Weddle spotted the vehicle pulling out of a driveway on 206, heading west. The '94 Mazda Pickup crossed the center line and eventually turned onto Hatfield Road and then into a private driveway. When the Sheriff activated his lights, the driver jumped out.

When the truck stopped, the driver was taken into custody.

A Marijuana crusher, 5 Klonopin pills, & a pack of rolling papers were discovered inside the truck.

The driver, 49 year old Christopher Richardson, of 171 Moxley Road, Liberty, stated he was delivering the Meth to another person and was to be paid $100.

Officers confiscated over $1,900 in cash.

Richardson was lodged in the Casey County Jail on charges of Reckless Driving, Trafficking in Controlled Substance-1st Degree (Methamphetamine - over 2gms), Tampering with Physical Evidence, Possession of Controlled Substance-3rd Degree (drug unspecified), & Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
