A man wanted on a Trigg County warrant was arrested in Marshall County Friday for possessing meth. The Marshall County Sheriff's Office reports deputies responded to a burglary in progress in Gilbertsville. Before officers arrived the suspects left the residence in a vehicle, which was located a short time later by authorities.

He was charged with 1st Degree Possession of a Controlled Substance (Methamphetamine) and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
