Joseph D. Hopkins
A Pike man was arrested on several charges including trafficking in methamphetamine after Kentucky State Police said a trooper conducted a traffic stop on his ATV.
According to an arrest citation by KSP Trooper Christopher Tyree, on April 6, he observed an ATV operated by Joseph Dewayne Hopkins, 37, of Greasy Creek Road, Shelbiana, cross multiple lanes of traffic.
Tyree wrote that upon making contact with Hopkins, he found that Hopkins was visibly impaired, with âglazed-over eyes and visible white residue around (his) nostrils.â
Hopkins, the citation said, was initially compliant and voluntarily stepped off the ATV, but became non-compliant during a safety pat-down Tyree was conducting. Tyree wrote that Hopkins got back onto the ATV and refused commands for several minutes until he again got off the ATV and was placed into handcuffs.
