A welfare check by the Casey County Sheriff's Office quickly escalated into a drug bust on Friday afternoon.

Deputies were seeking Timothy Pittman on an active EPO violation warrant at Ronnie G. Godbey's residence in Yosemite. Despite initial reluctance to open the door, Ronnie allowed the deputies inside, where they encountered Timothy and discovered various drug paraphernalia throughout the house.

Ronnie initially claimed ignorance about the items, but after a call to his daughter contradicted his alibi, he confessed that the substances and paraphernalia were his.

The deputies' search uncovered multiple pipes with residue, straws, and baggies with substances resembling methamphetamine.

Ronnie Godbey was arrested and charged with first-degree possession of methamphetamine (third or greater offense) and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was transported to the Casey County Jail.
