A Leitchfield man is facing drug trafficking and gun charges.
Burden, who also had a warrant for his arrest for methamphetamine possession, was jailed after police located multiple grams of methamphetamine, a loaded 9mm handgun and digital scales and baggies during the traffic stop, according to the arrest citation.
He was charged with trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine), possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), and possession of drug paraphernalia along with multiple non-moving violations.
In early June, he was charged with possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) in Breckinridge County.
Burden has since been indicted by a Grayson County Grand Jury for trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine), four counts of possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine, hydrocodone, amphetamine, drug unspecified), possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, and possession of marijuana along with non-moving violations.
Burden is lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center on eight $50,000 cash bonds.
