MT. JULIET, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man and woman from Knoxville are facing drug charges after a traffic stop led officers to discover meth hidden in their vehicle.
The Mt. Juliet Police Department said they pulled a vehicle over Wednesday afternoon after officers observed it driving too slow in the far-left lane on I-40 East, which violates the "Slow Poke Law."
The occupants in the vehicle were reportedly headed back to Knoxville after taking a trip to Nashville.
At some point during the stop, an officer discovered over a pound of meth hidden under a seat and on the male passenger.
Police said the man—only identified as a 41-year-old from Knoxville—was arrested for possessing meth with intent to resell. Meanwhile, the 36-year-old woman was reportedly charged with conspiracy to do the same.
No additional details about the arrests were immediately released.
