Three charged with drug possession after Ohio County traffic stop
OHIO COUNTY, Ky. (WBKO) – Three people were charged with drug possession and traffic violations after a traffic stop in Ohio County on Saturday.
Zakry Baize was charged with speeding, reckless driving, operating on a suspended or revoked license, failure to surrender revoked license, first-degree fleeing or evading police, first-degree possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), possession of marijuana and buying or possessing drug paraphernalia.
Erin Baize was charged with first-degree possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), possession of marijuana and buying or possessing drug paraphernalia.
Michael Lindsey was charged with first-degree possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), possession of marijuana and buying or possessing drug paraphernalia.
Ohio County Sheriff’s deputies reported that on Saturday at 11:11 p.m. they saw a White Ford Explorer traveling south on U.S. 231 near KY-269 with speeds of over 100 miles per hour.
The driver of the explorer did not stop when deputies tried to do a traffic stop and continued south until the vehicle came to a stop at the intersection of U.S. 221 and Placid Lane in Beaver Dam.
Police made contact with the three in the vehicle and a K-9 unit was deployed and detected “the odor of illegal drugs about the vehicle.”
After a search of the vehicle, police found a “quantity of methamphetamine and associated paraphernalia.”
All three were taken to the Ohio County Detention Center where they remain as of Tuesday morning.

Kansas State added another defensive player to their roster Friday.
Former Ohio State LB Gabe Powers signed with the Wildcats. Powers was anticipated to be a solid contributor to the Buckeyes’ defense but hasn’t had much playing time. He logged five tackles and a pick-six last season.
KANSAS STATE’S CHRIS KLIEMAN RAVES ABOUT DYLAN EDWARDS’ POTENTIAL AS PREMIERE RUNNING BACK
Kansas State star DJ Giddens will forego his senior season after declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Is it time for Dylan Edwards to take over the position? Wildcats coach Chris Klieman believes so. When asked about what Edwards can do as a premiere back, Klieman raved about the diversity he brings to the position.
“He’s so versatile,” Klieman said. “He can line up as a single back by himself. He can line up in a two-back set, flex out and be a receiver, or take jet sweeps. He can run really good routes. That’s what’s important for us.”
Edwards had 56 carries for 350 yards and three touchdowns last season, along with 17 receptions for 156 yards and a receiving touchdown. He transferred from Colorado after totaling over 600 total yards and five touchdowns his freshman year.
Edwards has big shoes to fill as Giddens exits as one of the top rushers in school history. Nevertheless, Klieman is excited for him and Joe Jackson to get acclimated and start producing as the likely running back duo next year. Klieman says this begins with the Rate Bowl against Rutgers.
“I’m excited for those guys,” Klieman said. “It’s their chance to get established. We know a lot of the things that Dylan can do and we’re excited to be able to showcase a lot of those things for him. And then with Joe, we’ve seen some really good glimpses of him in the early part of the season.”

Gabe Powers will continue his college football career at Kansas State.
The former Ohio State linebacker signed with the Wildcats on Friday after entering the transfer portal earlier this month, according to multiple reports.

Powers brings two years of eligibility to Kansas State after three seasons at Ohio State. Powers played only sparingly in his three years as a Buckeye, though he returned an interception for a touchdown in the fourth quarter of Ohio State’s season-opening win over Akron this season.

Had Powers stayed at Ohio State, he likely would have remained a backup linebacker next season, assuming Sonny Styles stays at OSU for his senior year. Arvell Reese is in line to replace Cody Simon as the Buckeyes’ starting middle linebacker while Payton Pierce and C.J. Hicks – if he doesn’t make a full-time move to the edge – are also candidates for increased playing time at linebacker in 2025.
Powers, who opted not to remain with the Buckeyes for the CFP, chose Kansas State after also visiting Minnesota, North Carolina and Wisconsin. He becomes the second Buckeye since the end of the regular season to transfer to a new school, joining wide receiver Jayden Ballard, who committed to Wisconsin earlier this week.
