A man from Pulaski County, George R. Murphy, 28, of Eubank, was arrested on Thursday night by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office.
Murphy was a passenger in a car that was stopped for driving over the rumble strips on US 127.
A K-9 deputy detected a controlled substance in the car. Murphy lied to the deputies about his name. He had two bags of a crystal substance in his pocket, another bag on his keyring, and a Kentucky ID with his real name.
Murphy was charged with identity theft, giving fake information to an officer, and drug trafficking. He also had two warrants for bail jumping and failure to appear.
He was taken to the Wayne County Jail.
