PADUCAH, KY (KFVS)- Deputies say three people are facing drug related charges in western Kentucky.

Wednesday, detectives say they arrested Xavier Smith and Opal Woodford for trafficking a simulated controlled substance at their residence on Reidland Road pursuant to arrest warrants detectives obtained.

Woodford was charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Undercover detectives say they had purchased an item that Smith and Woodford tried to pass as crack cocaine in 2012.
