A Hopkinsville man is accused of committing drug related offenses including trafficking in marijuana.

Early this morning, officers responded to an apartment located at 1404 Canton Street in reference to narcotics activity and when officers arrived and knocked on the door they observed 47-year old Charles Wayne Moore running to a room at the back of the residence.

When officers received permission by the renter to enter the residence, they found several baggies of marijuana, a grinder and rolling paper commonly associated with drug use.

Following the search, Moore was arrested and charged with trafficking in marijuana less than 8 ounces, possession of drug paraphernalia and tampering with physical evidence.

Police also cited 34-year old Christina Carman for possession of marijuana.
