Search at Allen County home leads to meth trafficking charges

ADOLPHUS, Ky. – Two people are facing charges after authorities say they found evidence of methamphetamine trafficking in an Allen County residence.

According to a uniform citation, the Allen County Scottsville Crime Task Force and the Allen County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant Tuesday at a residence on Christmas Lane in Adolphus.

During the search, authorities say they found suspected crystal methamphetamine, digital scales, multiple plastic bags and a ledger with prices on it.

Authorities say detectives interviewed Ricky Bolen, 58, of Adolphus and Tammy Hartman, 55, of Adolphus at the Allen County Sheriff’s Office.

While looking through Bolen’s phone, authorities say they saw evidence of drug trafficking with multiple individuals in Allen and surrounding counties.

Authorities say they also located evidence that Hartman was included in narcotic transactions.

Bolen and Hartman were arrested and transported to the Allen County Detention Center, where they have since been released.

Bolen and Hartman are charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, first offense (less than 2 grams of methamphetamine) and drug paraphernalia – deliver/manufacture.
