A Pike County man who is also a convicted felon is now facing meth and firearms charges following a new arrest Thursday.
According to a statement from the Pike County Sheriff’s Office, 37-year-old Michael Keith Boyd II was arrested after Kentucky Probation and Parole contacted the sheriff’s office while visiting and searching Boyd’s residence at Dorton Creek. The statement said deputies found guns, meth, meth precursors, a chainsaw and a leaf blower belonging to the Pike County Fiscal Court, and other drugs and drug-related items.
Pike Sheriff Rodney Scott said the case illustrates that officers never know what they might find when responding to calls for assistance. Here what he had to say in the attached video clip.
Michael Boyd was charged with probation violation, 6 counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of drug paraphernalia, manufacturing meth, possession of meth precursors, receiving stolen property and possession of a controlled substance in the second degree. He was lodged in the Pike County Detention Center.
According to the Kentucky Department of Corrections, Boyd was convicted on a felony theft charge in Letcher County stemming from a 2016 indictment.
