CORBIN, Ky. — The Corbin Police Department arrested five individuals this weekend after serving federal and search warrants at a residence on Incline Road, leading to the discovery of a large quantity of illegal drugs and stolen property, according to police.

On Friday, the Corbin Police Department, Whitley County Sheriff's Department, and U.S. Marshals Service executed a federal arrest warrant at the home. After taking a female resident into custody, officers observed a significant presence of illegal drugs and obtained a search warrant.

The initial search warrant yielded a large quantity of methamphetamine, marijuana, narcotic pills, LSD, and drug paraphernalia. A second search warrant at the same residence was executed in connection with a burglary reported on March 25, during which two male suspects illegally entered a home and stole multiple belongings. Police obtained security footage identifying a resident of the Incline Road home as a perpetrator.

During execution of the second warrant, officers located additional methamphetamine, a stolen handgun, and a large quantity of stolen property from the burglary.

Five individuals were charged across the three investigations. Nikhil Parlulekar and Nicholas Hammond each face first-degree burglary charges, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, theft by unlawful taking of a firearm, and various drug charges. Scarlett Wyatt was charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance and possession of marijuana, among other offenses. Wesley Croley faced first-degree trafficking and drug paraphernalia charges. Victoria Day, arrested through the federal warrant, was charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, possession of LSD and marijuana, and other drug-related offenses.

Day is being held at the Laurel County Correctional Center, while the other four suspects are lodged at the Whitley County Detention Center.
