Know who you're getting a ride from before you get in the car!

Just before 11 o'clock yesterday morning, Kentucky State Police arrested two men in Hopkins county for manufacturing meth.

They came across 31-year-old Darick D. Howton of Earlington, in a car parked near Pond River Collier Road.

Troopers also found items consistent with making meth in and around the vehicle.

Darick's brother, 26-year-old William "Coby" Howton of Madisonville, fled on foot when troopers arrived.

William was caught a short time later when he came out of the woods to ask for a ride from a KSP detective in an unmarked car.

Both men are being held on $25,000 bonds.
