(KAIR)--A Topeka man is facing charges, arrested in connection with the alleged distribution of methamphetamine following a Jackson County investigation. 

Sheriff Tim Morse, in a release, says it was Friday when Sheriff’s deputies, with the assistance of the Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office, took 40-year-old Charles Weston Alford into custody on a Jackson County District Court warrant in the 3400 block of Northeast Happy Hollow Road. 

Morse says the arrest is connected to alleged illegal methamphetamine sales during a multi-month drug investigation earlier this year, conducted in collaboration with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. 

Alford was arrested on charges including distribution of methamphetamine, no drug tax stamp for a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia. 

Once in custody, he was booked into the Jackson County Jail.
