A Paducah man was arrested Sunday and charged with the murder of another man.
Police were called about 3:30 a.m. Sunday after someone saw a man pushing a shopping cart containing what appeared to be a body in the area of 6th and Burnett streets. What officers say they found was Michael C. Russian, 36, trying to dispose of the body of Adam L. Bullock.

Police say Russian and Bullock were involved in an apparent altercation about 4 a.m. Friday at Russian’s home. A fight ensued, and Bullock was killed. Russian hid Bullock’s body in a storage unit directly behind his apartment in Anderson Court, and kept it there until early Sunday when he decided to dispose of it.
Bullock’s family members filed a missing persons report with the McCracken County Sheriff’s Department Saturday evening, saying they had not seen or heard from Bullock in several days.
Investigators still are unsure whether Russian and Bullock were acquaintances prior to the altercation, and Laird declined to discuss a possible motive for the dispute. Cause and manner of death should be determined by an autopsy, scheduled for Monday in Louisville. The investigation is continuing.
Russian is charged with murder and tampering with physical evidence.
