Shortly after noon on Friday, Deputy Tyler Luttrell of the Casey County Sheriff's Office observed traffic on Hopewell Road. He followed a 2009 Nissan Altima that ran a stop sign and failed to signal a turn. The vehicle then pulled into a driveway, and Deputy Luttrell activated his lights and approached the driver, Michael S. Hendrickson, 33, of Crab Orchard, and passenger Amanda L. Noll-Nafee, 37, of Harrodsburg. 

When asked about the traffic violations, Hendrickson, appearing nervous, claimed the vehicle's brakes were faulty. He also mentioned he was unsure whose driveway they were in and that the car was under someone else's name. Michael admitted his license was suspended, and Amanda revealed she might have a warrant. Deputy Austin Harris arrived on the scene and deployed K-9 Nitro, who alerted positively to the vehicle.

After requesting both occupants to exit the vehicle, Deputies Luttrell and Harris began a search. Dispatch confirmed Hendrickson's suspended license and Amanda's active warrant. Deputy Harris discovered a pink bag containing needles and a small container with suspected meth residue. Additionally, a small baggie with a suspicious substance was found under the center console.

Amanda was arrested for her warrant and possession of suspected methamphetamine. She was also served a warrant out of Mercer County for Trafficking Meth, and Possession of Fentanyl. Michael faces charges for disregarding a stop sign, failing to signal, driving with a suspended license, failing to register the vehicle, and DUI-controlled substance-2nd offense. Both were lodged in the Casey County Jail.
