Officer Camack responded and found the male and female unresponsive. Along with them were drug paraphernalia and a firearm inside a holster in plain view.
Officers woke the two up and identified them. They searched the vehicle and located around 17 grams of fentanyl, 5 grams of meth, and 10 grams of suspected heroin. The handgun was determined to be a BB gun. The two were arrested, and the drugs were seized.
The 29 YOA male, a resident of the Austin area, was booked in for possession of a controlled substance in PG #1 between 4-200 grams. The 30 YOA female, a resident of the Austin area, initially lied about her identity to avoid being caught with a warrant for drugs.
She was booked in for possession of a controlled substance in PG #1 between 4-200 grams, failing to identify as a fugitive, and the warrant.
