Fulton County, Ky.–A multi-agency investigation, conducted over several months in Fulton County, has resulted in the arrest on drug and weapons charges against a Hickman man.
Agencies involved in the investigation include the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, Hickman Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), with assistance from Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
On March 11, 2025, USPIS obtained a search warrant for two United States Postal Service (USPS) packages addressed to Tyler Wilson, a resident of Hickman, Kentucky. Inside the packages, investigators discovered a substantial quantity of suspected counterfeit Adderall pills. Upon Wilson’s arrival at the post office to collect the packages, law enforcement observed a firearm in plain view inside his vehicle. Wilson is prohibited from possessing a firearm due to prior felony convictions, including a 2021 conviction in Fulton County Circuit Court for first-degree unlawful imprisonment and assault under extreme emotional disturbance. He was subsequently taken into custody by local and federal authorities.
A search warrant executed at Wilson’s residence led to the seizure of additional suspected counterfeit Adderall pills, suspected fentanyl pills intended for distribution, a large quantity of suspected Xanax bars, and suspected crystal methamphetamine. Also discovered were large sums of U.S. currency, a money counter, a digital scale, an empty pistol box with ammunition, and a suspected firearm suppressor.
Wilson was transported by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office to the McCracken County Detention Center, where he will remain in federal custody pending further proceedings. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, with a federal district court judge determining his sentence based on sentencing guidelines and other relevant factors.
I would like to extend my gratitude to all local, state, and federal agencies for their support and assistance in this case, according to Sheriff Chad Parker.
