PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A shoplifting complaint resulted in a drug-trafficking arrest of a woman wanted in Floyd County.

Pikeville Police were called to Ross Dress for Less on Saturday for a report of a suspected shoplifter. When the officer arrived, the suspect — Carla Forsyth, 28, of Harold — said she didn’t have an ID and allegedly provided a fake Social Security number, not realizing the officer already knew her because of previous encounters.

The officer also knew she was wanted on several active warrants.

Upon searching her purse, the officer reportedly found more than 16 grams of heroin, three grams of meth and more than two dozen pills, along with a pistol and nearly $2,400 in cash. A search of her car turned up more drugs, including meth, pills and fentanyl, along with trafficking materials.

Forsyth was arrested and charged with multiple counts of drug trafficking and possession, along with other charges. She has also been charged with escape and tampering with a prisoner monitoring device in Floyd County.
