A Big Clifty man on probation until February 2025 after being convicted of burglary and drug charges has been arrested by Probation and Parole officers.

Hubert R. Mercer, 56, was arrested on a bench warrant.

Mercer was convicted in Grayson County on January 7, 2020 for third-degree burglary, two counts of possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), two counts of misdemeanor theft by unlawful taking, and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the Kentucky Department of Corrections (KDC).

The presumably concurrent sentence for Mercer’s convictions was 18 months in prison.

The KDC says Mercer’s probation supervision date began on February 7, 2020, one month after he was convicted.

He is lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center.
