A Leitchfield man once one of Grayson County’s Most Wanted has been jailed in Hardin County on drug charges.

Rocko M. Wilson, 33, was arrested Saturday night by the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office and charged with possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He is being held in the Hardin County Detention Center on a $5,000 cash bond.

Wilson, in March 2019, was listed as one of Grayson County’s Most Wanted by the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office. He was sought for fleeing or evading police and resisting arrest, among other charges.

In May 2019, about two months after Wilson was listed as a Most Wanted suspect, he was captured by deputies and the Leitchfield Police Department at a residence on South Broadway Street in Leitchfield.

Police surrounded the residence and spotted Wilson sitting on a couch. He was arrested without incident.

Wilson was previously arrested in Grayson County in July 2018 for carrying a concealed deadly weapon. He has also been arrested multiple times in Hart, LaRue, Barren, and Hardin counties on a multitude of charges, including public intoxication (controlled substance), interfering with governmental operations, multiple DUIs, driving on a suspended/revoked driver’s license, and fourth-degree assault.
