Drugged-up Kentucky driver hands over bag of meth, fentanyl pills and $3K when cops ask for his ID

What a meth.

A Kentucky man pulled a bag of drugs and a wad of cash when police officers asked him for his ID.

David Ratliff, 43, was passed out behind the wheel of his car on Friday in the parking lot of a video store on US Route 421 in Manchester — about 100 miles south of Lexington.

When police arrived at the scene and asked a drugged-out Ratliff for his ID, he whipped out a “baggy of meth, pills, and a large sum of US currency,” according to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.
