A Somerset man was arrested on drug charges Wednesday.

Pulaski Count Sheriff Bobby Jones says Paul "Skip" Bell, 58, of Somerset, was arrested at his residence. The Narcotics Division had been conducting surveillance on a known drug trafficker in the Slate Branch Road area. As the night progressed, they developed enough probable cause to secure a search warrant.

The search warrant was executed at Bell's residence on Daring Lane. Detectives found approximately 57.8 grams of methamphetamine, 36 Hydrocodone, 6 Suboxone, marijuana, digital scales, and cash.

Bell was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including trafficking in controlled substances and marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was taken into custody and lodged at the Pulaski County Jail.

The investigation is ongoing.
