Three people were arrested on methamphetamine charges early Saturday morning in Hopkinsville.

Christian County Sheriff’s Deputy Brandon Hawkins was called to a Riverview Drive residence just after 2am and writes on the report that he found a smell of chemicals and two windows open despite the freezing temperatures.

Deputy Hawkins writes he also saw a flame inside the residence, which he later says he determined to be evidence being destroyed. After further investigation, police arrested 26-year old Timothy Barry of Riverview Drive, 25-year old Ronnie Cowan, Jr. of Pardue Lane and 34-year old Brandon Lee of Owensboro on manufacturing methamphetamine and other drug-related charges.

All three were lodged in the Christian County Jail.
