Kentucky couple face drug charges after traffic stop in Gate City
GATE CITY — A routine traffic stop by Gate City police early Thursday morning led to the arrest of a Kentucky man and woman on a variety of drug charges.
Brandy Mullins and Christopher Duff, both of Whitesburg, Ky., were arrested and charged with felony possession of marijuana, possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute Schedule III and Schedule IV drugs, attempted violation of the Drug Control Act and several misdemeanors.
Mullins was also cited for several driving violations.
The car the pair were traveling in was seized, along with $5,000 officers discovered.
During a search of the 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse Mullins and Duff were in, officers found what they described as a “large amount of marijuana and packaged Schedule III and IV controlled substances.”
The pair were arrested after being pulled over about 1:15 a.m. by a Gate City police officer near Big Break 1 on Highway 23.
The stop was initiated after the officer observed the Mitsubishi fail to stop for a red light on Highway 23 at Gateway Plaza.
During the traffic stop, Mullins allegedly gave a false name and made several incriminating statements. Duff also allegedly gave a false name when questioned by police.
Police said they are still investigating the incident, and additional charges may be filed.
The Weber City Police Department and Scott County Sheriff’s Department are assisting in the investigation.
