Hopkins County man arrested for drugs after motorcycle stop

A Saturday afternoon traffic stop, on 21st Street in Paducah, led to the arrest of a Hopkins County man.

McCracken County Sheriff's deputies stopped a motorcycle, driven by 33-year-old Matthew S. Wedge of Nebo, Kentucky, for, allegedly, not having a license plate. 

During their contact with Wedge, deputies, allegedly, discovered methamphetamine, prescription meds that were not his, marijuana, and two loaded handguns. The handguns raised the level of the drug charges.

Wedge was arrested on the firearm enhanced drug possession charges, as well as being charged with a series of traffic violations.

He was taken to the McCracken County Regional Jail.
