NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. (FOX 56) — Authorities said two law enforcement units in Jessamine County teamed up to catch a man suspected of trafficking drugs.

The Nicholasville Police Department Drug Enforcement Unit and the Jessamine County Sheriff’s Office Drug Enforcement Unit said an operation was conducted on Monday in an effort to curb narcotics trafficking.

Authorities said during the operation, officers observed an individual driving without a seat belt. Officers conducted a traffic stop to find that the driver, now identified as 21-year-old Isaiah Williams, was driving without a valid license, just a learner’s permit.
