A number of arrests Tuesday culminate a nearly two-month investigation into drug trafficking by residents of a local halfway house.
Eight men were indicted on charges of trafficking in methamphetamine and/or trafficking in synthetic drugs. Detectives seized more than one quarter pound of methamphetamine during the course of the investigation.
Paducah police drug detectives began an investigation in early April after receiving information about illegal drug sales by numerous residents and former residents of Keeton Corrections, 621 Clarence Gaines St. During their investigation, undercover officers bought drugs from eight different men, and identified a Paducah resident confined to the facility as the supplier of much of the methamphetamine purchased.
Det. Sgt. Shawn Craven said investigators traced the drugs they purchased from various men to Keeton resident DeAnthony Woods, and from Woods back to Ralph Gaines Jr. Gaines is the only man arrested Tuesday with no ties to the halfway house.
Craven said they arranged with Woods to buy methamphetamine, and he would supply the drug and have others in the halfway house deliver it and collect the money. Detectives believe that he kept drugs on his person at the facility, and brought drugs into the facility to sell. Craven said Ralph Gaines Jr. was Woods’ source “on the outside” for the drugs.
Woods is one of only two men arrested who still is serving a prison sentence at Keeton; all the others have been released to the halfway house on parole. Two of the men (Nicholas Stodghill and Christopher Baker) are former residents of the halfway house who now are living in Paducah.

Search warrants were served at Keeton Corrections and two residences where Gaines stays, on Glenwood Court and South 13th Street. Additionally, officers served search warrants on the men at the time of their arrests Tuesday morning and located a syringe, synthetic marijuana, methamphetamine and other contraband in their possession.
While searching the halfway house, officers located several knives and homemade shanks, numerous cell phones (contraband inside a correctional facility), synthetic marijuana, a digital scale, syringes and assorted drug paraphernalia. At the two residences, officers found a 9mm Ruger handgun, 34 grams of methamphetamine, more than $1,000 cash and several digital scales and other drug paraphernalia during those searches.
Arrested were:
 Christopher Baker, 36, of Madisonville, KY, on indictment warrants charging him with two counts of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine – more than two grams); one count of first- degree trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine – less than two grams); and one count of trafficking in marijuana, and on charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of methamphetamine
 Ray Critser, 45, of Marion, KY, on an indictment warrant charging him with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine – more than two grams) (Second offense) and on charges of possession of synthetic marijuana, trafficking in methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia

He was served there with this warrant.

Additional charges for trafficking in methamphetamine are pending. (Woods’ home prior to his incarceration was located on Walter
Jetton Boulevard, several blocks from Keeton Corrections)
 Ralph Gaines Jr., 31, South 13th Street on an indictment warrant charging him with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine – more than two grams). After the search warrants were served Tuesday morning at the Glenwood Court and South 13th Street residences, Gaines also was charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine – more than two grams) and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon NOTE: Gaines has an extensive history of drug trafficking and a prior conviction for third-
degree assault.
One other man, Nicholas Stodghill, 31, originally from Owensboro, KY, is charged in indictment warrants with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine – more than two grams); and first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine – less than two grams). He previously was released from the halfway house and police have not yet located him to arrest him. Anyone with information about Stodghill’s whereabouts is asked to call police.

“The investigation into drug activity at Keeton Corrections is in response to numerous complaints of criminal activity and concerns from the surrounding neighborhood,” said Chief of Police Brian Laird. “A significant amount of time and resources has been devoted to this operation, in hopes of weeding out the bad apples in the facility and sending a message to any current and future halfway house residents that we will not tolerate individual bringing criminal activity into our community.”
Laird thanked new Keeton director Rob Estes for his cooperation today, and his efforts thus far to clean up the facility.
The Paducah Police Department was assisted in this investigation by Keeton Corrections administration, Kentucky Probation and Parole and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

(BENTON, KY, JUNE 5) Marshall County E911 will soon begin offering a new way for citizens to contact 911 by joining three other Kentucky PSAP’s offering Text-to-911. Text-to-911 is an initiative that emerged as a result of the Virginia Tech campus shooting when multiple students tried to text 911 for help, but dispatch never received them. This program urges emergency call centers to accept text messages through specialized technology in cooperation with cell phone service providers.

This new option in contacting 911 will allow those in situations where they cannot safely make a phone call to contact 911 in a discreet way. Appropriate situations for utilizing Text-to-911 could include an abduction, home invasion, active shooter, or home invasion situation. The service will also provide a way for the deaf and hearing impaired or those who are unable to verbally communicate a way to receive 911 assistance.

How to contact 911

If you use a wireless phone or other type of mobile device, make sure to do the following in an emergency:

Always contact 911 by making a voice call, if you can.

If you are deaf, hard of hearing or speech disabled, and text-to-911 is not available, use a TTY or a telecommunications relay service, if possible.

Remember that in most cases you cannot reach 911 by sending a text message.

Bounce-back messages

If you attempt to send a text to 911 where the service is not yet available, FCC rules require all wireless carriers and other text messaging providers to send an automatic “bounce-back”

message that will advise you to contact emergency services by another means, such as making a voice call or using telecommunications relay service (for persons who are deaf, hard of

hearing or have a speech disability). Bounce-back messages are intended to minimize your risk of mistakenly believing that a text to 911 has been transmitted to an emergency call center.

An inaugural text will be sent on Tuesday, June 11th at 3:30 PM at the Marshall County E911 center. The media is invited to attend to learn more about Text-to-911 and the potential this

system has for the citizens of Marshall County.
