CLARKSBURG, W.Va. – A Clarksburg traffic stop resulted in two arrests Sunday.
Clarksburg police stopped a car driven by Ralph Lloyd, 44, due to an equipment violation on Joyce Street. When officers approached the car they observed a loose white powder believed to be fentanyl in Lloyd’s lap.
Lloyd then gave police a false name and birthdate that returned an active warrant. Lloyd then admitted to providing a false name and gave officers his correct information that also returned an active warrant for his arrest.
Police then asked Lloyd, and passenger Tanya Miller if there were any drugs in the car. They responded there were two vials of marijuana in car and turned them over without incident.
When police searched the car they found 112 grams of methamphetamine, 26.2 grams of fentanyl, $4,230 in currency and two cell phones. The marijuana turned over to police weighed 3.5 grams.
Both are charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and conspiracy to commit a felony. They are being held in North Central Regional Jail.
