Grayson County Sheriff Rick Clemon's reported that in attempting to execute an arrest warrant, around 6:30 p.m. on October 17, deputies found a meth lab on property located at 14960 Owensboro Road, Falls of Rough.
After the discovery at his residence on Wednesday, Michael Foreman, 31, was pulled over during a traffic stop by sheriff's deputies about 2 p.m. on Friday afternoon in Lilac Estates.

Foreman was arrested and charged with two counts of manufacturing methamphetamine, a probation violation of a felony, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Another occupant of the vehicle and a second suspect, Adam Lacefield, 19, 1333 Free Zion Road, Caneyville, was also arrested and charged with first offense of manufacturing methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

All three suspects are currently being held at the Grayson County Detention Center.
“One hundred percent of the sheriff's department was dedicated to making these arrests,” said Willen. “These arrests will have major impact on the production of methamphetamine in our county.
“More arrest warrants have been issued and several more arrests will be forthcoming,” added Willen.
