Perry County grand jury indicts Chavies women on drug charges

Blue Sky Drive in Chavies landed at the center of Perry County’s latest drug docket after a grand jury indicted two women from the same address on felony charges tied to methamphetamine.

Lindsey King, 37, of Blue Sky Drive, was charged with first-degree possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, first offense. Tiffany Little, 32, also of Blue Sky Drive, was charged with first-offense trafficking in a controlled substance. The grand jury action moved both cases forward into the county’s court system, but the indictments themselves are not convictions.

Under Kentucky law, first-degree possession of a controlled substance is a Class D felony. The trafficking statute is also serious: Kentucky law says a person is guilty of first-degree trafficking when he or she knowingly and unlawfully traffics in two grams or more of methamphetamine. That legal threshold helps explain why meth-related cases are treated as major public-safety matters in Perry County and across the state.

The charges also put a familiar local road and community name into the county’s criminal court record. Chavies is one of Perry County’s smaller communities, and Blue Sky Drive is now specifically tied to two separate felony drug cases. In a county with an estimated population of 26,555 as of July 1, 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, that kind of case can feel especially immediate to residents in Hazard, Buckhorn, Vicco and surrounding areas.

Perry County court records begin with the Perry County Circuit Court Clerk’s office, and Kentucky Court of Justice guidance says case information may also be obtained through the state court records system. As these indictments work their way through the legal process, the cases will move out of the grand jury phase and into the next stage of circuit court proceedings in Hazard, the county seat.

The latest indictments keep drug enforcement at the center of Perry County’s public-safety conversation, with methamphetamine and trafficking allegations continuing to shape the county’s criminal courts.
