TWO WOMEN ARRESTED WITH METHAMPHETAMINES

  

The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office said that if you are going to try to discard your narcotics during a pursuit, make sure it all makes it out of the window.

Sgt. Ryan Meagher attempted to make a traffic stop on a 2004 Toyota Tundra pickup truck this (Wednesday) morning at 12:07am on I-10 West near Mile Marker 670.

The driver did not stop, and continued down the highway.

Meagher said that the driver and the passenger appeared to be throwing what looked like narcotics out of the window.

Meagher, with the assistance of Deputy Holly Smith and Flatonia Police Sgt. Trey Tunis, finally managed to stop the Tundra.

Both the driver, 56-year-old Simone Hamilton of Katy, and the passenger, 52-year-old Christal Potter of San Antonio, had a white, crystal-like substance consistent with methamphetamine in their hair, in their ears, and on their clothes.

Deputies were able to collect 20 grams of methamphetamine that did not make it out of the vehicle. 

Hamilton and Potter were both arrested and charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance More than Four Grams but Less Than 200 Grams, and Tampering or Fabricating Physical Evidence with Intent to Impair.

Hamilton also received an additional charge of Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle.
