Columbian arrested on drug charges in Pulaski County

From Mary Ellis

According to Pulaski County Sheriff Greg Speck, a Columbia, KY man was arrested and charged with several drug-related offenses after a traffic stop at approximately 10:30pmET on Sunday night, August 2, 2020.

Deputy Tan Hudson was conducting surveillance in East Hills Subdivision Sunday night when he observed a vehicle turn onto East Highway 80 driving carelessly. The vehicle was seen leaving a known drug house that Deputy Hudson had been investigating. Deputy Hudson and Sergeant Richard Smith conducted a traffic stop and contacted the vehicle operator, Joshua Akin, age 31, of Mitchell Street, Columbia, KY.



Deputy Hudson's investigation led to the request of a drug-detecting canine from the Sheriff's Office to perform a vehicle "walk-around " for the detection of possible contraband within the vehicle. Sergeant Smith, who was already at the scene of the stop, used K9 Giro to do the "walk-around." A positive alert by K9 Giro resulted in the discovery of a large baggie and three small baggies containing a white crystal substance, weighing approximately 14 grams in total.

Akin was arrested without incident and charged with the following:

Trafficking in Controlled Substance 1st Degree, 1st Offense (over 2 grams)

Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Akin was lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center.

The investigation continues by the Narcotics Division of the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office.
