Portsmouth, Ohio (WCMH) — A West Virginia couple was arrested in southern Ohio early Sunday morning during a traffic stop with multiple pounds of drugs and firearms.

The Scioto County Sheriff’s Office said that just after 4:30 a.m., authorities received a tip that a Chrysler with West Virginia plates was driving recklessly on U.S. Route 52 near the 522 exit. A deputy in the area stopped the car near Haverhill Ohio Furnace Road with the occupants being 27-year-olds Brian Adkins and Brittany Hall, a couple from Fort Gay, West Virginia.

The deputy saw a firearm under the gear shift of the car and then searched the vehicle, per the sheriff’s office. He found a black drawstring bag with an Ohio State logo that contained over two pounds of meth, close to 0.2 pounds of cocaine, and a small amount of fentanyl. The total street value of the drugs found was more than $20,000, per the sheriff’s office.

Additionally, the deputy found a pipe with white residue and $46 of cash in Adkins’ pocket while finding over $1,200 of cash on Hall. Both were arrested and each charged with two counts of drug possession, two counts of drug trafficking, and having weapons under disability.
