Authorities seized several pounds of synthetic marijuana from the location.
Perdue was arrested and taken to the McCracken County Regional Jail, where he faces charges for firearm-enhanced trafficking in a synthetic drug, possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
