Deputies say 44-year old Jerry Elliott was pulled over along the West Cumberland Gap Parkway, approximately ten miles south of London around 6:09 a.m. on Sunday.

Deputies say they found a pipe and a needle on Elliott during their search.  They say Elliott told them he was on his way to play golf when he was pulled over.

He was arrested on charges of operating a motor vehicle under the influence, second offense along with drug paraphernalia possession and other traffic offenses, according to deputies.

He was taken to jail in London.
