According to the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office, a vehicle driven by Donald Estes, (48), Louisville, was stopped for a traffic violation on February 16, 2019 on Union Light Road.

Deputies said that Estes was found to be operating on a suspended driver's license. Through the investigation, Estes was arrested for being in possession of a controlled substance (third degree). He was also charged with Prescription controlled substance-not in proper container, and Obstructed vision or windshield. 

According to the Sheriff's Office, once Estes had been taken into custody at the Hart County Jail, officials discovered a bag of what was suspected meth concealed on his person.
