A Columbia man was arrested on Heroin and methamphetamine charges after the sheriffs office investigated a suspicious vehicle.

On 4-21-21 at 6:19pm, K-9 Deputy Chandler Staten stopped on KY south 55 to check on a 2010 Kia passenger vehicle that he had received a complaint on from a motorist who waved him down. During the investigation, the deputy came in contact with the operator, Jeremy Tucker, 37, of Columbia. It was found that Tucker's license was suspended and it was also believed that there was narcotics in the vehicle.
