A Bowling Green man is accused of trafficking cocaine to another man at their workplace.

Edgar Wilson, 47, of 224 Hilltopper Drive, Apt. B, was charged Monday with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, second or greater offense (less than 4 grams of cocaine) after a Bowling Green-Warren County Drug Task Force detective saw a hand-to-hand transaction between Wilson and Robert E. Whitt through a live video feed at Bowling Green Metalforming LLC at 111 Cosma Drive, according to Warren Circuit Court records.

Whitt, 46, of 202 Ewing St., Adairville, is charged with first-degree possession of a controlled substance (cocaine), court records said.

Bowling Green Metalforming is a Magna International company.

Detectives found cocaine on Whitt, records said. Wilson told investigators he gave 3 grams of cocaine to Whitt on Sunday night. When asked what was exchanged in the hand-to-hand transaction, Whitt and Wilson both said $50.

Whitt told police he was paying for part of the cocaine Wilson provided him the night before.

Wilson told a Bowling Green Police Department detective that he had an additional plastic bag of cocaine and a set of scales at his residence, records said. Police took Wilson to his home and seized a set of digital scales and small plastic bag of suspected cocaine.

Task force Detective Clifton Phelps declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation.

Whitt told another detective that he had cocaine in his backpack. That detective found two packages of cocaine inside a pill bottle, according to court records.

The substance found in Whitt’s backpack field tested positive for cocaine, records said.

Both men were arraigned in Warren District Court on Tuesday morning. A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday.

Wilson’s bond is set at $6,000 at the Warren County Regional Jail, while Whitt was released Tuesday afternoon on a $1,000 bond, according to online jail records.
