Brandon Remijo Chavarria and Jennifer Galache, both of Anaheim, Calif., were booked into the Sequoyah County Jail in Sallisaw on charges of trafficking in a controlled dangerous substance. As of Tuesday, they were each being held on $25,000 bonds.
OHP Trooper Cody Hyde said the pair was stopped for speeding on Interstate 40 near Vian. Hyde said Chavarria and Galache told him they were traveling to Virginia, but gave conflicting stories about what they were doing in Virginia.
Hyde issued the couple a warning for speeding, and asked if he could search the vehicle. Hyde said he asked Chavarria if he was going to find drugs in the vehicle, and Chavarria admitted that he had a "little bit of meth."
Hyde did find some remnants of methamphetamine in a glass smoking pipe. OHP Trooper Shawn Griffey later found more drugs wrapped in plastic bags underneath the dash of the vehicle.
The two were arrested without incident.
