An Anderson County man is facing  numerous drug charges following a traffic stop late Monday night.

Just before 11 PM, Deputy Jacob Atwood of Casey County noticed a 2011 Nissan Altima on North US 127 with only one working tail lamp and an unilluminated rear license plate. The vehicle’s registration was expired, and the registered owner had a suspended license. Deputy Atwood initiated a traffic stop after the vehicle turned onto East Ky 70.

The driver, identified as 40-year-old Andrew L. Horn from Lawrenceburg, KY, had several prior drug-related offenses. He denied being on probation and refused consent to search his vehicle for firearms. Deputy Eric Pruner and Officer Ron Goodpaster arrived to assist.

Horn initially refused to exit the vehicle, but complied after Deputy Atwood presented his taser. During a field sobriety test, Horn admitted to having a pocket knife and suboxone strips, which he claimed were prescribed. However, his prescription bottle contained 34 pills instead of the prescribed 30, and he had about 40 additional strips in his pockets.

A search of the vehicle revealed a plastic bag with a white powdery substance, which Horn claimed was coffee creamer, digital scales with residue, ammunition, plastic baggies, a cell phone, a small pistol, and a Crown Royal bag with syringes. Horn stated he used the scales to weigh items he sold online.

Horn was transported to Casey County Jail and charged with multiple offenses, including having an unilluminated rear license, no registration plates, resisting arrest, no insurance, trafficking Heroin, trafficking controlled substance-2nd degree (over 20 units, unspecified), possession of a handgun by convicted felon, drug paraphernalia, & DUI-controlled substance.
