During the search of the residence, a bag with a white rock substance inside was found. It later field tested positive for methamphetamine, police said.

Police also reportedly found $120 in cash under the bedroom mattress.

Whaley is being held in the Fayette County Jail on two fifth-degree felony trafficking in drugs charges, a fifth-degree felony possession of heroin charge, a fifth-degree felony possession of methamphetamine charge, and probation violation.
