Fla. man arrested in Mason County

August 01, 2010 @ 12:00 AM

BARBOURSVILLE -- A Florida man was arrested by deputies with the Mason County Sheriff's Department early Saturday morning.

Kenneth Jason Brown, who turned 30 on Friday, was transported to the Western Regional Jail in Barboursville for being a fugitive from justice. Magistrate Gail Roush ordered a $100,000 bond.

Calls to the Mason County Sheriff's Department and the magistrate's office at the Mason County Courthouse were not immediately returned. However, published reports say Brown's charges are related to drug trafficking of Oxycodone and marijuana.
