BEDFORD — An investigation into a 911 hang-up call early Monday morning led Bedford Police officers to arrest a local man who was wanted on a warrant and subsequently found to have a felony-level amount of methamphetamine.
Kevin Allen Vandyck, 32, has been charged with possession of methamphetamine, a felony-level offense.
The incident began on November 3, 2025, at 6:55 a.m., when Bedford Police Department officers were dispatched to Vandyck’s address in the 1700 block of J Street in response to a 911 hang-up.
According to the probable cause affidavit filed by Officer Derek Blackwell, a dispatcher spoke with a male, identified as Kevin A. Vandyck, who claimed the issue had already resolved itself. Officer Blackwell and Captain Lemke continued to the scene to ensure the safety of all occupants.
As officers arrived, a dispatcher notified them that Vandyck was wanted on an active warrant issued in Lawrence County on petition to revoke probation.
Officer Blackwell located Vandyck exiting his apartment and confirmed that another male, identified as “Dawson,” who Vandyck claimed was causing issues, had left the scene. After confirming that the details of the initial dispute had been resolved, Officer Blackwell informed Vandyck of the active warrant and placed him in handcuffs.
During a search, Officer Blackwell located a container and plastic bags containing a white powder substance in the left pocket of the shorts Vandyck was wearing under his sweatpants.
The white powder substance was transported to the Police Department for processing. It was field-tested, yielding a positive result for methamphetamine, and registered a total weight of 12 grams.
Because the amount seized exceeded the 10-gram threshold, Vandyck now faces a felony charge of possession of methamphetamine.
Vandyck was subsequently lodged at the Lawrence County Jail.
All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. This article is based on the information provided in the Probable Cause Affidavit and does not represent a final determination of guilt or innocence.
