BUDDY M. HORN
Kentucky State Police Post 9 Pikeville troopers were staging a roadblock on Friday afternoon, November 8, by the Van Lear Baptist Church in Johnson County, when they spotted a car approach and then turn into the church parking lot, before heading back the other way.
Troopers noted the driver didn’t use his turn signal and pulled out in front of another car when leaving. A trooper followed and pulled the car over a short distance away.
When the trooper spoke to the driver, who was identified as Buddy M. Horn, 58, of Debord, Kentucky; he detected a strong scent of marijuana and noticed Buddy Horn to be speaking slowly. When questioned, Horn allegedly admitted to having smoked some marijuana earlier and he was placed under arrest.
When police searched his car afterward, they found two bags of meth and two bags of marijuana, along with a variety of paraphernalia.
Buddy Horn was arrested by KSP trooper Tracy Salyer, and he was charged with:
