A Kentucky state trooper made a traffic stop after seeing a car driven by Marion Wade Martin going 71 mph on US Highway 23 just outside of Prestonsburg. After the car was stopped, Martin was searched, and the trooper found a gun and several drugs. He was then taken to jail where Martin is accused of trying to swallow a golf-ball-size bag of heroin. Martin is facing additional charges including drug trafficking and tampering with evidence.
