MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia State Police arrested a pair from Masontown for drugs after a stop for speeding in the Morgantown area on Friday.
Troopers observed the speeding vehicle on Snakehill Road traveling toward Morgantown and conducted a traffic stop when the driver crossed the centerline and made a sudden turn onto Jeff Hayden Road.
Troppers made contact with a driver, Mark Lambert, 45, and Rebecca Lambert, 36, both of Masontown.
When Rebecca exited the vehicle, a bag of suspected methamphetamine fell from her lap, which allowed police to conduct a probable cause search.
During the search, police found more of a substance suspected to be methamphetamine below the passenger’s seat and $866 that was in the possession of Mark Lambert.
Both have been charged with possession with intent to deliver and are being held in the North Central Regional Jail.
