A suspected major drug dealer on the run after police seized 18 pounds of methamphetamine, 11 pounds of cocaine, 6,000 fentanyl pills, and $300,000 in cash has been arrested.

The Bowling Green – Warren County Drug Task Force, Warren County Sheriff’s Office and Kentucky State Police last Thursday served a search warrant at a home on Walnut Creek Court in Bowling Green. The service of the warrant followed the suspect, 39-year-old Joshua O. Duncan, of Bowling Green, fleeing an “investigative traffic stop,” according to police.

During a search of Duncan’s residence, police discovered 18 pounds of methamphetamine, 6,000 fentanyl pills, 11 pounds of cocaine, three pounds of marijuana, nearly a pound of ecstasy, four handguns (one stolen from Logan County), and over $300,000 in cash.

Duncan was taken into custody on Wednesday at an apartment in the Traditions Subdivision in Bowling Green. He was arrested by task force detective with assistance from the Kentucky State Police Interdiction Team.

The suspect was lodged in the Warren County Regional Jail where he’s been charged with two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine, cocaine), aggravated trafficking in fentanyl, receiving stolen property (handgun), trafficking in marijuana, fleeing or evading police, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
