Two men are behind bars in Pike County on charges of trafficking in a controlled substance after officers responded to a residence in regards to a suicide complaint. 46 year old Timmy D. May of Raccoon RD and 23 year old Jason P. Smith of Raccoon were taken into custody around 7:00 PM yesterday after a Trooper with the Kentucky State Police responded to a home on Raccoon RD after dispatchers received a call regarding a possible suicide attempt. Once the officer arrived he found the two men allegedly participating in illegal drug activity and according to the arrest citation, heavily impaired. The officer stated that pills were allegedly exchanged between the two and that May was in possession of a large sum of money. The two were lodged at the Pike County detention center on a charge of trafficking in a controlled substance and both plead not guilty this morning in front of Pike County District Judge Kelsey Friend.
