Deputies Kevin Wilson and Bobby McCown investigated and were assisted by Detective Rusty Anderson, Deputy Matt Mutter and the Barren-Edmonson County Drug Task Force.

On Sunday, just before 1 a.m., a Glasgow teen was arrested after police allege that he was spotted drinking beer in the drive-thru of Glasgow’s White Castle.
