A Liberty man arrested Friday with a huge amount of drugs and cash in his residence, was apparently getting ready to flee the country.
73-year-old Roger Mullins was the target of a joint operation by the Homeland Security Investigations, Drug Enforcement Administration, Kentucky State Police, and Casey County Sheriff's Office.
Agents executed a federal search warrant at his home on Brinson Place, where they found approximately 50 pounds of methamphetamine, 3 kilos of cocaine, 4 pounds of heroin, a loaded 9mm handgun, several containers of marijuana, baggies, a marijuana crusher, joints, and a set of digital scales in Mullins' bedroom and safe.
Mullins confessed to trafficking in narcotics and said he had buried $100,000 in cash in his backyard, which he dug up three days prior because he planned to go to Mexico soon.
Mullins was charged with multiple counts of drug trafficking, possession, and paraphernalia.
He is being held in the Casey County Jail on a $500,000 bond.
