Seven Graves County residents have been ar- rested on drug charg- es following a Graves County Sheriff’s Office investigation this week in Clear Springs, Lyn- nville and Wingo areas. Sheriff Jon Hayden said a series of investiga- tions this week into drug trafficking and burglar- ies led to several arrests as well as recovery of stolen property. On Wednesday, GCSO detectives obtained a search warrant for 2650 Ky. 301 near Clear Springs. McCracken County Sheriff’s Depart- ment drug enforcement officers had uncovered evidence of drug traf- ficking occurring at the home during an unre- lated investigation. The information was shared and a search warrant was obtained. In an unrelated inves- tigation, GCSO detec- tives obtained a search warrant for a residence at 115 Swan Rd. near Lynnville. Undercover methamphetamine pur- chases had allegedly been made previously from suspects at the res- idence. A third unrelated in- vestigation also led to execution of a search warrant at a home near Wingo. Deputies and officers from GCSO, the Mar- shall County Sheriff’s Department, the May- field Police Department and Kentucky State Police divided into two groups and dispatched to locations near Lyn- nville and Wingo around 4 p.m. Wednesday. At the Lynnville home, a man identified as Johnny Alford, 62, was outside in the yard. After seeing officers, Al- ford began running and threw a methamphet- amine-smoking pipe into the bed of a pickup truck parked at the resi- dence, according to the report. As officers en- tered the home, Susie Connell, 48, ran into the back of the home and attempted to barricade herself in a bedroom. Methamphetamine, electronic scales and other drug-related items were located during the search, Hayden said. Both Alford and Con- nell were arrested and later taken to Graves County Jail. Alford is charged with traffick- ing in meth, possession of drug paraphernalia, tampering with evi- dence and first-degree possession of meth. Connell is charged with first-degree trafficking in meth, tampering with evidence, first-degree possession of meth and possession of drug par- aphernalia. Meanwhile, at the Ky. 301 home, one person, identified as William C. Cowsert, 30 of Clear Springs, was found in- side. Cowsert was ar- rested after numerous items related to the trafficking of metham- phetamine and posses- sion as well as a loaded gun were found during a search. Plastic bags, scales and other items were also located. Cowsert was charged with first-degree posses- sion of meth, possession of marijuana and pos- session of drug para- phernalia — all firearms enhanced – and taken to Graves County Jail. Hayden said arrests warrants have also been obtained for Cowsert’s mother, Kimberly A. Cowsert, 40. Kimberly Cowsert has been previ- ously convicted in fed- eral court for metham- phetamine trafficking. A third search war- rant was obtained and served on a residence near Wingo later in the evening. Graves, Mc- Cracken, and Marshall County sheriff’s depu- ties as well as Mayfield police officers served the warrant at 1655 Taylor Rd. just after 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The preceding inves- tigation was a result of information obtained from the McCracken County Sheriff’s Office. As officers arrived, they reported finding three people in a shop near the home. The three were identified as Seth P. Curtsinger, 25; Montana West, 26, and Louis Schwenk, 37. Methamphetamine, a meth-loaded syringe and other related items were found, according to Hayden. Curtsinger allegedly began resisting officers and had to be re- strained. All three suspects were charged with pos- session of metham- phetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of syn- thetic drugs and taken to Graves County Jail. Curtsinger was addi- tionally charged with re- sisting arrest. Hayden said the inves- tigations are continuing. ■ ■ ■ Hayden said a Murray man has been charged with theft of automo- tive diagnostic equip- ment valued at $3,500 that was reported by a Central Road resident in May. The equipment was reported missing May 13 in connection to a large garage that had been burglarized. The victim reported that a window had been broken out and entry gained. “The area was ran- sacked and some dam- age reported,” Hayden said in a news release. A new engine diagnos- tic scanner was imme- diately reported stolen. The homeowner later reported two rifles were missing. On Thursday, GCSO Capt. Jeremy Prince, who was investigating the case, learned that a suspect, later identified as Troy A. Brown, 18, of Murray, was possibly in possession of the stolen scanner and was trying to sell it. Another GCSO deputy working undercover, made contact by tele- phone with the suspect and inquired about pur- chasing the scanner. Brown allegedly agreed to sell the scanner and arranged a meeting on a parking lot on Main Street in Murray. Hayden said he, Prince and Chief Dep- uty Davant Ramage met with Murray Police Department officials to set up a meeting with Brown. Once Brown arrived and handed the stolen equipment to the un- dercover deputy, he was immediately arrested and his vehicle seized. A search was also conduct- ed at the suspect’s apart- ment where the two sto- len rifles were found and recovered, according to Hayden. Brown reportedly confessed to commit- ting the crime. He was charged with first-de- gree burglary and taken to Graves County Jail. Staff report Seven arrested in drug sweep, another charged with burglary W. Cowsert K.

Sheriff Jon Hayden said a series of investiga-tions this week into drug traffi cking and burglar-ies led to several arrests as well as recovery of stolen property.
On Wednesday, GCSO detectives obtained a search warrant for 2650 Ky. 301 near Clear Springs.

A third unrelated in-vestigation also led to execution of a search warrant at a home near Wingo.
Deputies and offi cers from GCSO, the Mar-shall County Sheriff ’s Department, the May-fi eld Police Department and Kentucky State Police divided into two groups and dispatched to locations near Lyn-nville and Wingo around 4 p.m. Wednesday.
At the Lynnville home, a man identifi ed as Johnny Alford, 62, was outside in the yard.
After seeing offi cers, Al-ford began running and threw a methamphet-amine-smoking pipe into the bed of a pickup truck parked at the resi-dence, according to the report. As offi cers en-tered the home, Susie Connell, 48, ran into the back of the home and attempted to barricade herself in a bedroom.
Methamphetamine, electronic scales and other drug-related items were located during the search, Hayden said. Both Alford and Con-nell were arrested and later taken to Graves County Jail. Alford is charged with traffi ck-ing in meth, possession of drug paraphernalia, tampering with evi-dence and fi rst-degree possession of meth. Connell is charged with fi rst-degree traffi cking in meth, tampering with evidence, fi rst-degree possession of meth and possession of drug par-aphernalia.
Meanwhile, at the Ky. 301 home, one person, identifi ed as William C. Cowsert, 30 of Clear Springs, was found in-side. Cowsert was ar-rested after numerous items related to the traffi cking of metham-phetamine and posses-sion as well as a loaded gun were found during a search. Plastic bags, scales and other items were also located.
Cowsert was charged with fi rst-degree posses-sion of meth, possession of marijuana and pos-session of drug para-phernalia — all fi rearms enhanced – and taken to Graves County Jail.
Hayden said arrests warrants have also been obtained for Cowsert’s mother, Kimberly A.
Cowsert, 40. Kimberly Cowsert has been previ-ously convicted in fed-eral court for metham-phetamine traffi cking.
A third search war-rant was obtained and served on a residence near Wingo later in the evening. Graves, Mc-Cracken, and Marshall County sheriff ’s depu-ties as well as Mayfi eld police offi cers served the warrant at 1655 Taylor Rd. just after 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

All three suspects were charged with pos-session of metham-phetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of syn-thetic drugs and taken to Graves County Jail. Curtsinger was addi-tionally charged with re-sisting arrest.
