KENTUCKY — A man was taken into custody Friday after barricading himself inside a home in the Bashford Manor neighborhood, according to Louisville Metro Police.
Officers responded to a “trouble run” in the 3300 block of Bardstown Road, where they executed a search warrant on both the residence and a vehicle belonging to Yerahmeel Castro.
According to court documents, police discovered numerous individually packaged baggies of suspected crack cocaine and marijuana, consistent with drug trafficking.
Inside Castro’s vehicle, officers also found an AR-15 rifle loaded with more than 50 rounds of ammunition, as well as additional bags of suspected crack cocaine.
Castro initially barricaded himself inside the home but later complied with police and was taken into custody without incident.
He faces multiple charges, including possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, trafficking in a controlled substance (cocaine), trafficking in marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
